Not quite. This dialog appears often when I close repetedly a lot of
opened windows and come to the Sylpheed compose message window which I
*don't* want to close (happens something like I just click on the X
accidentally), so in that moment I think "no, cancel" and I click
mechanically on the place that usually is the Cancel button, except that
this time I loose the draft.

Putting menus and buttons in approx the same place across applications
on a given operating system is an efficiency issue for the user.

(an vague example -- a Linux user expect the Preferences to be
under Edit, while a Windows user expect the Preferences to be under
Tools; I am not saying which one is better, but is best to keep a
consistency, at least on same OS)
