Yes, but it's not a Finder window. The Finder doesn't know anything about.
Try asking the Finder to close a window of any other application and you'll
get the same error. You have to tell the application, if it has "window" in
its dictionary, that is. The difference here is the Launcher "is not an
application" so you can't tell it anything.
