We should be removing the MPlaceholders for views declared as 'non-restorable' on shutdown so that they won't appear on the next restart...

Moving to the 4.2.2 milestone...

Note Bug 358578 seems to address the same issue. I think that the issue is actually that we have two different close paths; one for when there's a single window up and a different one for when the user closes the application using 'File -> Exit'. 

Right now the File -> Exit one tries to hide the views but doesn't actually remove the placeholders and the 'x' button doesn't even try to handle this...

Removes all non-restorable views including all instances of multiple-instance views (except the placeholder with the secondary id '*'). For single instance views it will set the TBR to false (again to maintain its placeholder).
