You're right. I didn't understand that you were in a plugin.

Hmmmmm.... that makes things a bit more complicated.

Depending on the type of cleanup you want to do, you might be able to
have your plugin create a watcher process that simply waits and watches
for the parent application to die.

This technote would help with that...

But that may not be possible if the cleanup you want to do is
in-process.
