I work from home and frequently spend an hour or so putting in data, all on one screen. If I accidentally hit the stupid little x (which is now in the left hand corner just where you don't need it, it is too easy to hit it by accident, but i can't change this, it comes with the distro), i lose all that work. - Please tell me how to fix this terrible bug. [Also it would be nice to - be able to move the window control buttons (X ^ v) back to the right - hand corner, but it's not a sufficient answer to this bug.] + Please tell me how to fix this terrible bug.
