Too bad, I still do not agree. Please be also aware that the X-Button is
optional at the top window border. Someone might diable it or use a kde
compliant wm which does not have this feature. IMHO the X-Button is for
manipulating the windows (a wm feature) and the close menu entry shall
control a document.

Especially with editors I want to have a close menue entry in order to
be able to handle multiple documents in a single window. (xemacs like
behaviour)
