I don't think that is particularly good OO design...The application delegate
shoudn't have to know what connections of different kinds other objects in
the program may create. There is of course the possibility of making some
kind of convention that objects which need to "say goodbye" in one way or
the other respond to a -goodbye message or -cleanup or something like that,
but I think the -dealloc method is a more logical place to place clean up
code.
