To save you trouble on your TCL-road ahead, make sure you understand the
difference between

  -command {$app on_quit}

which you had originally in your code and

  -command [list $app on_quit]

which is the correct way of doing things and

  -command "$app on_quit"

which also most probably would "work" right now,
until some day it won't :-)...
