You have a point, pd crashing some time or another is inevitable, and even 'force quitting' the example app given to me by a the Wacom guys has the same problem as I am dealing with - with one difference in that restarting their app will reset the driver to its original state. I must still be missing something in my attempts.
One thing I still wonder about; why is shutting pd via Ctrl-q any different than closing a patch (causing an exit() before destroying the patches)? [closebang]'s won't work either, I suppose, among other things like what I am trying to do.
