When closing a gnome-terminal through the window manage close button
while running a ssh session it requires a highly annoying confirmation
to really close it.  This makes gnome-terminal unuseable for managing
lots of temporary remote ssh sessions.  Before the last update from the
testing repositories this behaviour was not present.

You can disable this behavior by turning off confirm_window_close in
gconf (apps/gnome-terminal/global).  The description of this key still
refers to only asking for confirmation when more than one tab is open,
but now also apparently controls confirmation when a program is still
running in the terminal.  This is particularly annoying for terminals
opened using nautilus-open-terminal, because every session "has a
running program" and so must be confirmed to exit.  However, I think
this is probably a minor item, since it can be turned off.  I see the
bug either in the gconf key description or in the default behavior,
rather than the fact that the prompt itself exists.

I think the main problem is that there is no easy way to turn it off
in the gnome-terminal preferences - people can argue about defaults
forever, but a gconf key is not a sane way to switch it for a normal
user.

thanks

Hello,
I've forwarded the bug upstream in order to include the option in the GUI.
Also lowering to normal, the terminal works as expected though usability is
not that good.
Thanks for the bug report.
