It was my impression that WM_CLOSE is a message which can only be sent
to a window (that is, to a HWND message loop). As a console application,
monotone does not implement any windows (it is a console application
after all), and therefore the WM_CLOSE approach doesn't work. There's
not much the Monotone devs can do here, although there's probably some
way to register a hidden window, implement a process message loop or
something like that, but a console application shouldn't have to do that.

So the problem is really that QT's approach is limited to graphical
applications, which seems like a problem in QT to me.
