Steps to reproduce:

1. launch hob
2. click icon "Settings"
3. from command line (from where you started hob), press CTR+C.

Hob does not stop until you close the window for "Settings".

Apparently related to GTK model. The workaround would be killing the process, which is not advisable. So this is hard to fix.

I'm back...

Hi Belen,
When a user is pressing CTRL+C he/she wants to kill the entire app, so maybe it is not bad idea to kill it after all. What do you think?

I agree. I think the key is responding to the user's input (Ctrl+C). The problem we currently have is that Hob doesn't respond in any way: users need to figure out by themselves they need to close the dialog to exit the application.

So yes: let's kill Hob in this case.

Thanks!
