'--force-shutdown' has always seemed to me a kludge, effectively a tacit

I agree.
In defense of Evolution I haven't seen a component oriented application
that doesn't provide some escape clause [comparing Evolution to
Thunderbird is like comparing a 2010 Toyota Prius to a 1919 Model-T Ford
anyway; I know which I'd rather drive on the highway (and I own both)].
The question seems reasonable to me if quitting [or even killing] the
GUI *should* stop the components since they are used by other things
[OpenOffice, the GNOME calendar widget, etc...]
