I think the idea is things should just work if you add the toplevel
windows of the application to the GtkApplication instance (via
gtk_application_add_window or gtk_window_set_application); when the last
window is destroyed, the mainloop will quit.

For more complex cases, e.g. if you want to defer windows creation
asynchronously or if you need to run as a headless service you have to
use g_application_hold/release.
