Obsolutely not... What if my program opens up several configuration windows, and then the user
decides that he doesn't want child window 2 open?  He, (the user) for whatever reason, decides
to use the WM's destroy function, instead of my "close" button, to kill the window.  I expect
that the user will assume that this will ONLY destroy that window, and as such, I link my close
window events to the "destroy" signal.  If I hooked that signal and closed my entire app, not only
would that not be "normal" behavior for an application, but also, what if I use
Gtk::Window->destroy to kill windows programmatically?  (Which I DO in my code)  Now I
have sent the destroy signal to a window.  Obviously I ONLY want to close that one window
(unless I send the "destroy" signal to the "PARENT" window, in which case I call Gtk::main_quit)
Anyways, the point is, destroying a single window in a multi-window app DOES NOT imply
termination of the entire app.  (In my mind at least)
