But throwing a TerminationVetoException isn't something that the user 
will be aware of.  Today, when doing "File - Exit LibreOffice", the user 
is made aware that terminating LO does not work (because of external 
connections and TerminationVetoExceptions) by the fact that its windows 
will not close (whether or not that is a good way of communicating this 
to the user).  In the future, the user would no longer be made aware 
(while I think they should be, in whatever form).
