I think the first case is covered by using File->New instead of
File->Close. File->Close All only makes sense when there is a global
toolbox/menu bar (Gimp), and the user can easily select File->New from
the global menu bar after using File->Close All. So I see no reason for
File->Close or File->Close All to create a new document.
