It depends on how the window is being closed.  In my window manager
(fvwm2), for instance, there are two different operations -- "Delete"
and "Destroy".  The latter will kill the application whose window it is;
the former might only close the single window to which the operation is
applied (depending on the application).

If the help window is closed by clicking the "Close" button inside
the window, the client should not terminate -- if it does, then it's
indeed a bug.  The GTK+ client also doesn't terminate when I close the
help window with my window manager's "Delete" operation, but it *does*
terminate when I use "Destroy".  This is not a bug -- it's the reason
why there are two separate operations.
