#9698: Method for externally closing Pidgin properly (command-line switch?)

 For some time now, I have released a package of Pidgin for SanDisk's U3
 platform for flash drives
 http://software.u3.com/Product_Details.aspx?ProductId=405&Selection=14&Lang
 =en-US.  However, the one thing that I am not able to do in my package is
 cleanly close the program externally.  When you eject the flash drive, the
 U3 platform sends a message (which I define in the app's config manifest)
 to the program to close.  However, Pidgin does not have any such interface
 (that I know of) to programmatically close it cleanly, and the best I can
 do is to make a call to the system to end the process, effectively
 crashing Pidgin.  Can a command-line option be added to close Pidgin
 properly in the same way as Ctrl+Q?  If Pidgin was not running when it was
 called it should either do nothing or produce an error however Pidgin does
 that, but should not create a popup box or anything like that.
