There is interest :)

I'd expect the "Quit" entry from the Dock or the menu bar to be equivalent to hitting the window close box.

For shutdown/logout I'd want a different event, if possible. A window-close event would be okay, too, but at least on the XO I need to respond to the "session logic" too. Or no, strike that, actually it would be fine to deliver a window-close request.

Thanks :)

You can see that in a current trunk image by clicking on the close button (you'll now get a Squeak notifier instead of the previous VM notifier). The old behavior is still available if you SHIFT-Click on the close button. This is very useful if your image hangs.
