I'm glad to hear it.

There isn't really any way of doing that directly -- you have to close
all the windows.

Yes.

It sounds suspisciously like a bug... Have you tried
test/test_window.py? Just to see whether the loop exits when you close
all windows manually... (There may be something with the destroy
method.)
If you just want to exit the program you could use sys.exit(). If you
want to exit the event loop but not the program, and the intended
Anygui mechanism doesn't work, the following hack might:
try:
app.run()
except SystemExit: pass
# Continue here...
Not that I'd recommend it, though... :)
If you've got the time, perhaps you could try out the CVS version?
There's a good chance that it's even less stable than 0.1.1, but,
pragmatically, there's a greater chance of getting any bugs fixed.

Is there no scroll bar when you fill the text area with more lines
than it can hold?
