Thank you Benoit, the concept is now clear, but the documentation isn't.
I'll propose a change in the docs and then I'll submit it to the list for
approval.

On another note: my application does have a tray icon, but the application
is closed nonetheless when I click on "X" on the main window.
And this sparks another thought: unfortunately it is not always possible to
close an application by closing the main window. Sometimes you have to use
the QUIT statements, but that generates other problems in GUI programs.
So we have two distinct and somewhat opposite problems here: an application
that closes when it shouldn't (because I still have the tray icon running)
and an application that can't be cleanly closed when it should.
I'll send a separate message for this second issue with some code
demonstrating the problem.
All this is on Gambas 3.16.3: I'm not using development versions on purpose.

Regards
Cris
