Close windows

[edulid]

What is the recommended way to close windows?
As far as I know, the default action on window close is hide(). So the window is still in memory.
I (normally) prefer to destroy() the window, so I would have to write for every window I open:

addCloseClickHandler( new CloseClickHandler()
        {
            @Override
            public void onCloseClick( CloseClickEvent event )
            {
                markForDestroy();
            }

        } );

But why is the default approach to hide() the window and not to destroy() it ?

How come there is not a setDestroyOnClose on Window like there is on Portlet?
Thanks

It is just a less frequently used setting in that context, and very easily done with code.

Thanks, just wanted to make sure it wasn't hiding under another name.
