[maemo-developers] gtkmozembed: why kill itself in destructor?

[From: Zhihai Wang]

Deal all,

In EmbedPrivate.cpp,

EmbedPrivate::~EmbedPrivate()
{
  sWindowList->RemoveElement(this);
  sWidgetCount--;
  mNeedFav = PR_FALSE;
  if (mProgress)
    mProgress->Shutdown();
  if (mEventListener)
    mEventListener->Shutdown();
  mOwningWidget = nsnull;
  if (sWidgetCount) return;
  gboolean bval = FALSE;
  if (gtk_moz_embed_common_get_pref
(G_TYPE_BOOLEAN,"gtkmozembed.no_destroy_on_last_window", &bval) && bval)
    return;
  int pid = getpid();
  EmbedCommon::DeleteInstance();
  EmbedGlobalHistory::DeleteInstance();
  kill (pid, SIGUSR1);
  kill (pid, SIGKILL);
}

Why shall we kill pid in the end? Can't the program exit normally?
