Hello That a window is not actually closed after the user has clicked the "close window" button does not pose any techical problems at all. All sane window systems allow applications to make the final decision of wether or not to actually close the window. If this would not be the case it would be impossible to click Cancel on the customary question "You have unsaved changes in this document/image, do you want to save?". >From a usability point of view it is quite a brave approach however, but I think it will work well. Only time will tell. Note that GIMP trunk already now has a considerable amount of the spec implemented, so if you manage to compile GIMP from there you can already now try this out and get a pretty good feel for what the end result will be like.
