Hi,

I'm not the original poster, but I can reproduce it by:
1. Opening a .org file
2. Creating a headline
3. Calling org-clock-in
4. Saving the buffer
5. Clicking the X to close the window

By the way, the clock is not required, the same happens with an unsaved
buffer: first there is a right-click style menu asking what to do, then at
the end, the "modified buffers exist, quit anyway?" dialog only has "yes"
and "no", no "cancel".

I agree with Petteri, imo those dialogs should have a "cancel" button.

Best wishes,
Thibaut
