[PyQt] Intercept close button and force application to Quit

[Philip Lorenz]

Hi,

overwrite the closeEvent 
(http://riverbankcomputing.co.uk/static/Docs/PyQt4/html/qwidget.html#closeEvent) 
of your main window. Alternatively you can set the WA_DeleteOnClose flag 
on your widget 
(http://riverbankcomputing.co.uk/static/Docs/PyQt4/html/qwidget.html#setAttribute) 
which should terminate your threads if their parent is set to that window.
