That behavior is inherited from libX11 - every toolkit does it.  The
intention is to tie application lifecycle to that of the display.

libdbus added an API for this (and libdbus does it too to provide
lifecycle management for non-GUI components), but doesn't seem
inconveivable for gtk, but I'm not a maintainer there myself.
