Actually this is what I tried already:

1st)
    gnome_client_request_save (gnome_master_client(), GNOME_SAVE_BOTH,
TRUE,
                               GNOME_INTERACT_ANY, 0, 1);

2nd)
    gnome_client_request_save (gnome_master_client(), GNOME_SAVE_BOTH,
TRUE,
                               GNOME_INTERACT_ANY, 0, 1);
    gtk_signal_emit_by_name(GTK_OBJECT(gnome_master_client()), "die");

both compile and execute without problemns, however gnome is not ended.
Maybe I send the request to the wrong client. If so, any idea which
client to send it to ?

Maarten
