Wow, I never meant to cause such a firestorm!
I never wanted to change the default behavior of BB, just wanted to see
if there were any alternatives.
How about this for a solution - kind of a combination of things that
have been mentioned by others ---
Is there a way to remove the default Exit

Yea, just remove the entry from your menu file.

Along with the confirmation exit issue I have another question. Is it possible to set
up a way to exit using the keyboard? Is there any command in bbkeys that will do this
or any other way of going about it? Just thought I would ask

Then this sounds like a bug. I am assuming that X would send a polite
signal to blackbox

Is there a specific signal that could be sent to Blackbox and make
Blackbox do exactly the same thing as if a user had clicked [exit]
from within Blackbox ?

Here's a quick Gtk+ program that confirms BB's exit. It sends signal 15
(SIGTERM), which BB catches and properly exits itself, most likely bringing
down X with it.

However a kneejerk reaction
of that will just make it bigger and there are other ways to do it need to be
avoided.
Not a kneejerk reaction but just good arguments. What's wrong with
them?
And many bb users will not want confirmation dialogs. So make them
available via patch or tool and all

Nice. That does work, but it is a hack to something that I think should be
in blackbox. It is pretty a standard programming practise to prompt the user
before something like this, in my experience anyway.
From my brief knowledge of the code base, I don't think it would be very hard

There might be a problem with that. There is currently no code in
blackbox for displaying any dialog. So the confirm dialog would add a lot
of code to blackbox.
Not really. bb already knows how to create a window, some text and a button.
It just has to display all three at once in a

The big problem I am having is that there is a default Exit at the
bottom of the menu that is not in the blackbox-menu config file. I've
tried adding an exit within bbconf, thinking I could create a script
that would do the prompting, but I cannot delete that default Exit.
