If the toplevel window for the window being destroyed is the main window (aka "."), then simply destroying it means the cleanup tasks are not executed like saving the commit message buffer, saving window state, etc. All this is handled by do_quit so, call it instead of directly destroying the main window. For other toplevel windows, the old behavior remains.
