oopps, this "feature" may give sou some trouble.
If an app launches a splash screen which closes before the main window
is opened... the XServer shuts down and now the app can't connect to
the XServer.
I just got a bug report about this issue from a user, who couldn't
launch GIMP any longer since he had enabled auto-shutdown. Disabling
auto-shutdown solved it.
The same issue should occur if you log into a remote computer using
'ssh -X' and start any xclient. After you quit the xclient,and if this
was the last X window, XQuartz quits too, leaving the ssh connetion in
an unusable state.
Yeah, this is really some sort of "auto-shutdown".
No matter what you want to do, it will shut down your app and the
XServer automatically. ;-) (SCNR)
So I vote to drop this auto-shutdown switch to avoid users getting
into trouble.
