It's a different thing.

GUI applications automatically quit when there have no opened windows 
(persistent or not) or trayicons (or watched file descriptors) anymore.

Because then the user has no way to interact with the program anymore, 
so it seems a good idea to stop the program.

You set the 'Persistent' property when you don't want to recreate your 
window each time you use it, usually when it's a dialog, or a tool window.
