Yes, I just ask this as I run a very special mainloop in my application. 
I've my own mainloop logic and just start EFL with elm_init() in one of 
my threads. For various reasons I couldn't give main control in my 
application startup logic to EFL.

With the old API I just catched the window delete request and ended the 
mainloop with elm_shutdown() and elm_exit(). This worked great.
