#5 Doesn't exit cleanly using X button

[Timmmm]

Python process doesn't exit on windows is you press the X to close the window and leaves two python processes running. It works as expected if you use File->Exit however.

Currently the close buttons on the editor and console windows only hide the window rather than exiting the application. This was done to allow the user to work with only the editor or console. Hiding both leaves only the taskbar icon which can be used to re-open the windows.

Maybe a better solution would be to add a check to offer to exit completely if both are closed.

Ah I see, that's rather confusing! I think the most logical behaviour would
be to close the application when all the windows have been closed. Then you
can just minimise the app if you want to hide it. That's how virtually all
apps work anyway.
