[win32] no shutdown event sent

[Gernot]

In application.stop there is a win32 specific part that does not call reactor.stop but instead kills the python and elisa processes to overcome a bug in gst_metadata which can lock when it is out of process.

Fixed in the branch upicek_avoid_multiple_instances.

This has no user impact (that we know of) and is a pure code issue: the code was incorrect. Therefore there is no way to test it other than looking at the code.

[Olivier Tilloy (osomon)]

Re-opening as this is definitely not fixed: we still have some very dirty code that kills all python and pythonw processes on Windows.
We need to find a clean solution to this problem, killing processes by name is not an acceptable solution.

Elisa.exe process for 0.5.1 release does not quit anymore, on XP and Vista.

[Florian Boucault (fboucault)]

application.py:542 shows that the shutdown event is sent.
