You can force close applications by pressing and holding the Home button. This will show the list of open windows (swipe side to side), and you can close the ones you want by tapping the "X" in the corner.
Thought window.close() does work. Do you have an example app that shows how window.close() doesn't work, because I would love to see it. Can you please link to a bug report? Thanks!
