I would think that you wouldn't want the widget to actaully quit.

But my widget has a back-end that may be modified at a low level by another process, and if this happens, then I want all instances of it to quit... Otherwise, if it stays open, then it will be unstable at worst and unusable at best. Re-launching won't work, because the widget will most likely be an older version that doesn't support the new back-end.

If closing is indeed essential, I think your best bet would be to have the widget display a message that instructs the user to close and re-open it. (Just hide any content divs and show a div that contains this error message.) This seems friendlier than having a widget disappear from the user's Dashboard.
