The hook `kill-emacs-query-functions' is surely called when using any
way to kill emacs willingly (C-x C-c, M-x save-buffers-kill-emacs,
close by the window manager), but not by M-x kill-emacs.       

I have this function to warn me, and it saved me several times.

(defun kill-warn ()
  (interactive)
       (or (boundp 'NO-kill-warn)  ;; define this to disable warning
           (yes-or-no-p "Stop editing and kill all buffers ?")))

(add-hook 'kill-emacs-query-functions 'kill-warn)

Ehud.
