Are ok, I might try that, but I'm hoping this new 'application_terminated' 
flag will fix the app exit crashes. 

I downloaded the ruby mysql extension. But then I found it depended on 
installing MySql, which in turn depended on various perl modules.. So it 
looked like it would take all day. 

Then I wondered whether it would have been a good idea to use the Qt::Sql* 
classes instead of the ruby extension to connect to the database. Did you 
look into that way at all?
