Yes, Michael, I already know that much. But this setting just *disables* Alt-F4 as well as the close button. It does not, however, notify my image of any VM-WindowEvents, or does it?

What I want to accomplish is this:

Whenever the user presses the VM's close button I want to be receiving some kind of #windowClose event, which my application can react to. I've seen all the necessary code in the new Etoys image, and I've read about these events in a post by Ian Piumarta (from last year, I think) in the Linux-VM. So, I guess my question is: Does the current (or newest) Win32-VM support these WindowEvents at all, because to me it doesn't seem so? (but it would be sooooo useful!)

if you use a current VM adding
EnableAltF4Quit=0

to the .ini does the trick. It controls both F4 and the window close
button behavior.
