Whenever we create an app for a user on qt4 or wx, we hold a

method is provided to clear the references we are holding.
Parameters
----------
gui : None or str
If None, clear all app references. If ('wx', 'qt4') clear
the app for that toolkit. References are not held for gtk or tk
as those toolkits don't have the notion of an app.
