Thanks for the response. Unfortunately, as I mentioned in my second  
sentence, I have already tried that. To reiterate, the problem with  
that approach is that the closeEvent is called when the window is  
closed due to application exit as well as when the user closes the  
window. I don't want the routines in question to run on application  
exit - only on window close.
