Yes, even under X, clicking the close box is different than telling the
window server to delete the window (to do the latter you use a special
program like xkill). Clicking the close box, under X as under Mac
environments, sends an event to the application that can be handled any
way it likes.

Right. I, er, 'dislike' this behaviour. If I ask the window manager
to close a window, *it* should close it, not the application running
in the window.
there's no reliable way to do that, apart from deleting the X
connection of that window (which will usually kill the entire
application). That's why most programs elect to handle their own
deletion requests
