Correct. That's how apps are supposed to behave on Macs according to
the human interface guidelines. It's more document than app based.
However this mechanism can't simply be adapted for other operating
systems. On Windows and most X systems, closing the last window is
expected to terminate the application and there's no way to access a
window-less application (other than notification area hacks). So this
is not a viable solution.
