You're right. I think, the motivation to diverge was that it is
particularly difficult to decide when a viking document is modified or
not. In other words, when the user considers that its document is
modified. For example, does the user expects to save its document when
it simply open and move viewport to left?

But I agree with Greg: we need to restore standard notions.
The question is: what about detecting document modifications.

I'm not sure it will be easy to implement something to detect changes.

Any idea?
Should we always open a dialog like « Do you want to save your work?
Yes/No » at closing?
