This a good idea and would probably meet better with user  
expectations when the only frame is closed (get rid of the icon in  
the dock), also applicable when started with --daemon.

I don't have time to work on it right now, so if someone else wants  
to take a crack.. it shouldn't be that hard (though there could be  
unexpected gotchas I guess)...
