Just a small point here: The dialog asks one question. 'Cancel' is not a
valid answer to this question.

Personally, I don't like apps acting like apps. The application is something
in the mind of the developer, but that's just an aside. 


I think this dialog should say 'Yes / No / Don't quit'

'Cancel' does not seem to be a valid answer to the question given. 'Don't quit'
at least informs the user that this is what is imminent.

Cheers,
Rik
