It depends.

Timer automatically stops if their event observer is destroyed.

Otherwise they keep running and prevent the program's termination (see 
the documentation about the event loop on the wiki).

But you can now set the Timer.Ignore property to tell Gambas to ignore 
that timer when quitting.
