(Sorry IOhannes, missed the list on that one)
Currently (at least on Mac OS X) Pd has no qualms about shutting down
without question if the main window is closed, which seems a bit silly
considering the proliferation of confirmation boxes elsewhere. I've
lost quite a bit of work this way, accidentally using command-q (quit)
rather than command-w (close window). I'm also in the questionable
habit of using quit to bring up the save dialogue before quitting,
which is fairly standard behavior in other applications.
That's not to mention that OS X usually has an
Application/Window disconnect - in that closing the windows of a
program does not actually quit - so it is especially unexpected on the
Mac.
Update... I've also confirmed this is the behavior in Windows.
Cheers,
Luke

this has been discussed thoroughly on this list: the final state (iirc)
is, tht miller had no plans to change this behaviour back; he had good
reasons for his arguments, which you can find by searching the archives.
asking for "save" rather than "really close" seems to be a good idea however.

now this would be nice to have: this way you could override the
reluctant closing with the enforced closing.
mfg.adr.
