You may have a hard time convincing the Gtk+ developers that such a
routine is necessary, as the "child exit" problem is not even limited to
X development. I've had cases where I was writing data to a tape drive,
spawned a child to do something, the child called "exit", closing the
tape drive, and screwing up my backup.
I'm sure multi-threaded, networked database programmers have encountered
similar problems.
Calling "_exit" from children is the "correct" thing to do ( and had
RTFM'd, I would known that the os module had an _exit! ;-)
