Changes (by deryni):

  * status:  new => pending


Comment:

 The dialog I 'proposed' was designed to indicate how ridiculous all of the
 available options at that point would be. Since either:

  * you did want to quit, in which case the extra dialog is purely
 annoying.
  * you didn't want to quit, in which case maybe you hit the button
 accidentally but we can't start second guessing every action people try to
 take ('Did you really mean to send that IM?', 'Did you really mean to open
 an IM window to XYZ?', etc.).
  * you wanted to minimize the window, in which case you should have hit
 the minimize button, and being kind to people who hit the wrong button
 here is unhelpful.
  * you want pidgin to hide itself in the notification area now, in which
 case you should just have gone and changed the pidgin preference.

 Yes, closing pidgin has more serious consequences than closing a terminal
 tends to (but closing a terminal is occasionally as problematic, if not
 more problematic as you can't always 'just sign back on').

 If you don't want to accidentally close pidgin, and don't have pidgin
 hiding in the notification area, why are you hitting the close button at
 all? If you really hit it by accident with any real frequency perhaps you
 should look into better ways of fixing that problem then by having your
 applications prompt you (like by finding a window management environment
 which can be made to prompt you when you close *all* applications, or
 specific applications).
