[msw 2.8.7] Problem saving application settings when system is shut down

[Tyushkov Nikolay]

Hello

I have such problem in my app too:( I have tested a lot of variants a 
few days ago including:
wxExit(); ExitMainLoop(); direct deletion of main frame delete pMainFrame,
or such code
    mainWindow->CloseFlashnote(true); 
    wxIdleEvent t;
    mainWindow->AddPendingEvent(t);
    while (Pending())    Dispatch();

Nothing works correctly simultaneously under XP, Windows  2000 and Vista .

So,  now I am not  trying to _close_  app when EVT_QUERY_END_SESSION is 
arrived. I just save my settings and all. It seems to work well.
