My app has only one frame, so for me it's not an issue. With the code I showed, the app quits if I press cmd-Q, select Quit from the app menu, *or* close the only window. That's fine—though I wouldn't mind if (like most Mac apps) if closing the only window did *not* quit the app. What I don't want is for cmd-Q or Quit from the app menu to do nothing—which is what was happening before.
Maybe there's something better to call, in my OnClose(), than wx.GetApp().ExitMainLoop(), but I haven't yet found anything that makes the Quit happen.
