Sounds reasonable to implement it in GNUstep this way as well. Simple  
logic, no additional methods required.

Regarding the notifications, it's unclear to me how they should be  
reliably helpful (in both, Cocoa and GNUstep). They are asynchronous  
regarding to direct and delegated methods, making it difficult to  
implement predictable behavior. Sending them from within -terminate:  
would require additional rounds through the run loop, right? Sending - 
terminate: from within the notifications prohibits feedback to the  
workspace manager.

Perhaps somebody could post a code snippet of how termination  
notifications can be used?
