Sure, but I think this is an improvement over what we have.  Currently,
if the changes file is unwritable, then the user *can't* immediately
quit Squeak.  By the time they get a chance to quit, the system will
then ask if they are really sure about it.  It's as if Squeak is
*trying* to get them to mess up.

A reasonable alternative.  This will be a real nuisance if you really
have lost your changes file, but how often does that happen?  Wanna code
it up?  :)
