Plugin Destructors Never Get Called?

[psavery]

Hi all,

I've been running some tests, and it seems to me that the plugin destructors do not actually get called.

I tested it out by trying to print a message in several different plugin destructors (copypaste, openbabel, plotxrd, and select were the ones I tried).

Can anyone else confirm this? I was going to use the destructors to help make sure the Vtk plot (in PR #379) gets closed when the program exits..

Ancient bug, but fixed in OpenChemistry/avogadroapp#363 where the MainWindow should be on the stack, and then the plugin instances should have a parent passed in. Verified that destructors are called and opened #1250 to fix a bug where a plugin was deleting the molecule.
