I apologize. In my defense I thought the subject defined the bug and the 
body could contain peripheral information. My mistake and I won't make 
it again.

Guess the bug should have read, "Wait allows mouse and keyboard events 
to trigger in GTK+". Part of the confusion is that when switching from 
GTK+ to Qt and back, things often behave quite differently. One could 
easily misconstrue any of these differences as bugs in one or the other. 
I was used to using GTK+ so I thought this was normal behavior for Wait, 
when in fact it was an abnormality.

I just re-read it and saw the footnote about not using it for GUI apps. 
So the only way to exit/end/quit/terminate a GUI app is to "close all 
open windows and terminate all child processes." I'll give it a try, thanks.
