GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 94091
Behaviour on "close of last sheet (REDUX)
Last modified: 2013-12-31 19:52:51 UTC
Feature: when the last worksheet is closed, gnumeric remains running but opens the default "new" setup. This sets up a parallel with launching.If we launch gnumeric and then visit a recent file, gnumeric now replaces the contents of its window with the saved file. Couldn't "closing" this file have the reverse behaviour? I realize we have discussed this before but thought I would again. --adrian
Mathematica does what you are asking for, and it is imho Mathematica's most annoying `feature'.

I think it's fairly evident that the core cabal is strongly against this. And the HIG says not to do it.
