So, closing the last Brasero window means that opening a new one > requires re-launching the App, I don't think we can make this change, or at least, it's far from that simple. We already have the problem where the desktop gives you no feedback if you have too many applications running, if we start keeping them around after you click close it'd be even worse. Another issue is that some applications are going to be treating close as "stop working", e.g. burning a CD, playing music; if we just hide the window and the application isn't expecting this it'll just keep on working, which is not likely what people expect.
