My current quit button on the Emacs GUI asks for a directory using the mouse.  It asks me for a directory to save the *Message* buffer and another buffer such as *Compile-Log* etc.

This is not ideal behavior since buffers whose buffer name starts and ends with a * should be killed and not saved.

The ideal behavior would not ask for a directory to save the *Message* buffer.

I also prefer the modeline for asking such questions.
