It should terminate if you override the destroy() method and call
dispose() in it. I'm not sure if you need to call setVisible(false) and
stop(), but it should not hurt.
I have an example at http://fieldrep.ed.umuc.edu/~crecord/
Click on the pinball game and verify that the quit button and close
buttons work. You can also check out the source of the
PinBallGameApplet.java.
