I am not sure I understand the exact issue, so I will suggest a few options.
1. You can disable the close button on the panel, which should prevent it
being closed by the menu, but also prevents it from being closed at all.
Useful if you have (or are willing to implement) a show/hide toggle menu for
the panel.
2. If you just don't want the panel to respond to the close menu, simply
implement -validateUserInterfaceItem: in an appropriate place in the
responder chain. The side effect here is that the close menu item will be
disabled any time the panel is key, which is probably OK as you have it set
up at the moment.
3. If you meant to say that when you close the last document window that the
panel closes at the same time, then I am not sure what that would mean other
than something is rather wrong.
Just a general note: if the (red) close button on the panel is enabled,
users may expect that command-W will close it when it is made key. There may
also be a HIG issue with this.
