Window should be always be closed immediately when the 'x' is clicked #62

A strategy I've used elsewhere is to hide the window immediately when the X is clicked, then give the renderer 2 seconds to close the window for real. If it takes longer than 2 seconds, then the browser forces the window to close. |

That's a great idea. |

Atom-shell needs to ask the renderer whether the window can be closed when the X is clicked, so simply hide the window does not work. For example, the "confirm close" dialog in Atom can cancel the close, if we hide the window the dialog would not be seen by users. I think when the X is clicked, we can check whether the window has been unresponsive for a while (for example 2 seconds), if it does Atom can show the "renderer is unresponsive" dialog and let the user decide whether to wait or force closing it. Simply terminating the renderer could surprise the users, because they may be expecting a "confirm close" dialog but the window just closes. Does this solution work for you? |

Perfect. |

When a window is running an unresponsive script (for example, something that is infinitely looping), it would be nice if we could still click the red 'x' icon to close the window and forcibly terminate the render process.
