Hello.,

is there a way I can capture alt-f4 (in gnome) and act within Emacs.?

This is because, recent times, I am killing Emacs by mistake with
alt-f4.

I am longing for a function which captures alt-f4 event and ask me for
confirmation in all circumstances.


Thanks.,

Don't think there will be one, since it may or may not work.

The key is received by X server, then goes to whichever program
that binds this key; if the key is first bound by the window
manager, it may or may not allow rebinds of it.

You'd better play with it in your window manager.

I thought it is possible since Emacs is asking for confirmation(with
unsaved buffer exist) when I click [X] button with mouse on a Emacs frame.

They are the same signals., aren't they? 


PS: FWIW I am using Gtk(2.20.1-2), Gnome (2.30.2) on Debian squeeze.
Thanks.,

If Emacs acts differently on them, they must be different.
