Mmm, good point.

It does, but it runs rather a lot of code from inside the signal handler, which seems like a Bad Idea. To make sure things run from outside the signal handler, we need integration with the event loop. I guess we could have nsAppShell::PostSignalEvent(int signum) with a default do-nothing implementation?
