Correct. I don't see any way to do that.

This will need a bit of hacking (the window should visually disappear at once, 
but the actual closing must not happen before the "something" has finished), 
but yes, it's definitely possible to insert some action when the window is 
closed. Let me know what you need done, and I'll add it, soon.

Cool! See svn rev. 2887 (Note that you need to do "make install" to see the 
new menu items). Feel free to adjust all naming, etc. Of course this is very 
rudimentary, so far. Esp. we should add a mechanism to disable the "next" plot 
action when already at the last plot, and vice versa for the "previous" 
action. But this should be enough to play with for a start.
