Yeah, it should use a window event with the close window subtype unless there is something about X that I don't know (is this possibly a post-close event, e.g., the window manager destroyed the window already?)

How is this different than sending an event type 5 (window event) with a subtype of 2 (WindowEventClose)
Well unless the idea is that you can close the main squeak window and squeak will keep running.

This patch disables the title bar quit button (iff your window manager participates in the WM_DELETE_WINDOW protocol) and causes an event of type 6 to be sent to the image (in response to which it should pop open the 'save changes before quit' dialogue -- an SEP).
If (1) several people report that this adequately addresses the issue and (2) nobody else has claimed event type 6, then I'll commit the changes and move the event type definition into sq.h next to the others.
