I am not fast to answer am I...
If we had an extension language, and had hooks where you could place
functions on buffer close then this would be very easy and not require
any hardcoded constructs inside LyX.
(add-hook 'buffer-close-hook 'buffer-export-latex)
would then do that job for you.
But I don't think we want to insert a extension language right away,
we want the existing code and GUI independence work to settle down a
bit first.
