    Furthermore, I'm even more curious if this is the cause of the notorious
    "Memory Leaks". In other words, I'm curious if every application that uses 
    widgets, and exits without waiting for these callbacks are leaving stuff in 
    the server and therefore it would seem to continually grow?

"The server don' 'llow no resource leakin' 'roun here."  The server doesn't
care "how" the client terminates, it always frees all resources created
(unless the client has explicitly asked for a Retain CloseDownMode).
