AFAICT this "paradigm" is no longer written in stone: in more recent versions of OS X (Lion, Mountain Lion), applications using native toolkits (for example apps like Apple's TextEdit and Preview) support a new feature called 'Automatic Termination'.

Do we really need to track this in two separate reports, depending on whether Inkscape was compiled with GTK+/X11 or GTK+/Quartz? Proposing to link this report as duplicate to
