Yea, but it currently doesn't work right, and I think part of the
problem is that if you have unsaved work there isn't a good way to pop
up a dialog saying "wait" because you've already destroyed the main
window.

The real fix will be moving to an embedded-SQL backend so we DONT have
to force-save the work (and we wouldn't need log-replaying, either).
