FIX: allow re-shown Qt windows to be re-destroyed

tacaswell · tacaswell · commit d916aae54f09 · 2023-11-09T22:14:50.000-05:00
When a Qt window is closed we do not strip off the Qt components and it
is technically possible to re-show it.  However, the latch we use to
detect re-entrant destruction does not get reset so the figure can not be
re-destroyed.
