They should; the window system event is handled as a spontaneous event and should reach Q(Gui)Application::event with the spontaneous flag set; a call to Q(Core)Application::quit sends (or posts, depending on the thread) the event as a synthetic event to the qApp instance, so the spontaneous flag will not be set.
