gtk_clipboard_store() is expected to be called only when the application is about to quit, and that's what all GTK+ applications do, because GTK calls it after the main loop quits. We could use a compiler destructor to do all the cleanup though, but I still thing exit(0) is not the best way to finish the web process when we can just quit the main loop, and finish properly from main.
