I found a document that hopefully will end this discussion: http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/shutdown/base/shutting_down.asp IMHO, a relevant part from that page: Shutdown Notifications Applications with a window and message queue receive shutdown notifications through the WM_QUERYENDSESSION message. These applications should perform any required cleanup while processing this message and return TRUE to indicate that they can be terminated. Applications should not block system shutdown unless it is absolutely necessary to prevent corrupting the system or media that is being burned. This section is especially interesting: Applications that have unsaved data ***could save the data to a temporary location and restore it the next time the application starts***... So, I conclude that displaying a dialog box ("Do you want to save bla bla?") would violate the "rules" above, wouldn't they? /Mathias _______________________________________________ emacs-pretest-bug mailing list [email protected] http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/emacs-pretest-bug
