This is exactly what I thought of, but I also want to allow to run my program without the main window (like ./prog --task which only opens a task window). So I would have to run a GtkApplication without any GtkApplicationWindow. As the applications life cycle is tied to its ApplicationWindows this approach just seems wrong.
