One possible solution would be to call the quit functions of the plugins but have a timeout set
so that you could pop up a dialog if they did not quit after a second or two asking if the user wanted
to terminate the plugin. But this seems messy.
Another thought:
If a plugin has a quit function that hangs or takes a long time, won't that affect the gimp when
the quit function is normally called (on closing of plugin)? If so, the gimp is already exposed to the problem
of poorly written plugins, and it might as well call the quit functions of active plugins when it exits.
Or does the gimp have some way of protecting against this issue that wouldn't work if it was closing?
Thank you for your assistance,

I am not entirely sure how plug-ins are quit by the core when the GIMP
core exits. It would probably make sense to make sure that the plug-in's
quit function is called. On the other hand we don't want the application
to hang there waiting for plug-ins to quit. If you want to investigate
this further, we could try to help you to fix this issue.
