Comment # 1 on bug 8715 from 
Presumably closing a file should close any dialogue windows that depend on the
contents of that file (statistics, conversations, graphs, etc).

I tried with a few other types of windows (IO graph, conversation lists, ...)
and none of them closed automatically, but neither did they crash - they just
didn't do anything. This is safer from a security standpoint, but still
terrible for usability.

(I did a quick check in LibreOffice - most of their dialogue boxes are modal,
but the ones that aren't automatically close if the underlying document is
closed.)

As for what should be fixed - I'm happy just fixing the crash in the GTK
version (by checking in summary_ok_cb if the file is still there). The Qt
dialogues should all be implemented so they close when the file is closed
though.

Cheers,
Evan
