There's got to be a Windows event that is trappable with an event handler,
similar to catching SIGINT with signal().  You can't trap SIGKILL in
*nix, but I -believe- that the event generated by ALT-F4 and the X icon
is different than the one that kills an app totally drastically like
SIGKILL--otherwise you'd never hit that "unresponsive program...end now?"
dialogue which -will- kill it no matter what.  I just don't know the event
name.

If that event can be found and trapped within the client, bingo.
