It turns out "xdotool killwindow" simply calls "XKillClient()", as you can see
on xdotool's repo ("https://github1s.com/jordansissel/xdotool") here:
"cmd_windowkill.c:40" --> "xdo.c:1845".

This doesn't give the application inside the window any chance to do anything
which, in the case of Firefox, causes the "restore session" message to pop-up
the next time it runs (but, for some reason, not always).

I found out that using "xdotool key shift+alt+c" also closes the window while
giving the application an opportunity to gracefully shut down (this happens
because wdm sends the WM_DELETE_WINDOW message before killing the X window).

WARNING: While this new command is "nicer", it also does *not* immediately close
the window (ex: in the case of Firefox, a confirmation popup appears first).
This might *not* be what the "two fingers gesture" is meant to do. If so, feel
free to ignore this patch :)
