Quiting a Standalone

[Mark Schonewille]

Hi Marty,

If you are on MacOS X, choosing Quit from the application menu 
trggers the shutdownRequest message but not the 
closeStackRequest message, i.e. the application quits before the 
closeStackRequest message is sent. The closeStackRequest message 
seems to be triggered on Windows before shutDownRequest message 
is sent. I'm not sure about Linux.

Best,

Mark
