I may have an idea:

Call inside the cleanup proc

https://developer.gnome.org/gio/stable/GApplication.html#g-application-get-default

and

https://developer.gnome.org/gio/stable/GApplication.html#g-application-get-is-remote

And do the cleanup only when not is remote.

I think I will test that tonight.

I still wonder how such a cleanup on crash is handled by a plain C
application. Seems that C lib atexit() is not really called at abnormal
program termination. For Nim it seems that cleanup proc is called
always, because exceptions are caught.
