Actually, since according to Mac OS X docs "the order in which observers
receive notifications is undefined" (GNUstep doc doesn't say anything about
it), observing NSWWPON by the library is not a way to go - application should
receive this notification before call to applicationShouldTerminate to be able
to process it (and there is a note about this order - see
http://developer.apple.com/releasenotes/Cocoa/AppKitOlderNotes.html).
