:-) Yes, I know that.
However, wouldn't it be nice if Gtk+ supported a "quiet shutdown"
routine that could be called by the child process?
I have a hard time seeing the fact that the child can totally screw up
its parent by exit()-ing as a feature.

It can't, but if Gtk provided the "quiet shutdown" routine mentioned
above, things would work for those who chose to call it, wouldn't
they?
