Draw on the board and close golly. It will prompt with a dialog
box, which reads:

  If you don't save, your changes will be lost.

     <No> <Cancel> <Yes>

This is ambiguous. Is it asking if I want to save changes?
Or is it asking if I want to exit *without* saving changes?

To fix the wording, you could probably tack on "Save now?" to
the end of the message.


(BTW, if No or Yes is selected, golly will throw a segmentation
fault when it exits in this situation.)

This might be confusing for some window manager, perhaps.

I couldn't reproduce this segmentation fault.
