No offense, but why do you need to distinguish between these? It might be a bad 
user interface design — for example, have you considered that some disabled 
users have trouble with precise gestures and use keyboard equivalents whenever 
possible?

I can assure you that -windowShouldClose: is only called in response to direct 
user interaction, and is often used to put up a confirmation sheet.

It's also called if the user chooses the Close menu command or presses Cmd-W.

You could examine [NSApp currentEvent] and see if it's a mouse event, if you 
really need to know.
