I have been thinking about this and it does seem to be a somewhat thorny issue.
One possible solution would be to call the quit functions of the plugins but have a timeout set so that you could pop up a dialog if they did not quit after a second or two asking if the user wanted to terminate the plugin. But this seems messy. Another thought: If a plugin has a quit function that hangs or takes a long time, won't that affect the gimp when the quit function is normally called (on closing of plugin)? If so, the gimp is already exposed to the problem of poorly written plugins, and it might as well call the quit functions of active plugins when it exits. Or does the gimp have some way of protecting against this issue that wouldn't work if it was closing?
