With Qt-layer your goal is simple to achieve because any Qt widget emits
the "destroyed" SIGNAL (see
http://doc.trolltech.com/2.3/qobject.html#a9d5ae ) It doesn't matter
what was the reason for that QWidget collapse. It can be due the code
calling "delete" or because of the user acted to "destroy" the window on
the screen.
This means in your main() you can connect the "destroyed" signal with
some custom slot that in turn does gApplication->Terminate();
For example the "qtgui" package from http://root.bnl.gov does provide
several implementations for TBrowserImp class for different occasions.
Calling "gApplication->Terminate();" from object dtor may have caused
the unforeseen troubles and surprise the end-user.
On other hand the Qt-like solution can be done with TRootBrowser also.
One should re-call that TGFrame base class object emits:
Emit("CloseWindow()");
ROOT signal just the user had closed the appropriated X window.
(see:
http://root.cern.ch/root/htmldoc/src/TGFrame.cxx.html#TGFrame:HandleClie
ntMessage )
You should connect this signal with your code to terminate the
application. In this case no custom TBrowser class is required.
Hope this helps.
