No problem.
Though I didn't realise until now that the feature request was
submitted by you, so my comment in the tracker sounds a bit weird
now :).
Anyway, thanks for your patch.

I fully agree, should be better now.

I did it a bit different:
I modifed dialogs_show_prompt to take also response codes, not only
button (stock) names. This way it was quite easy to add the additional
button.
I'm not sure why you duplicated the code to close a document,
document_close() already exists. I changed the logic a bit and now we
mark the document only as changed if it isn't closed.

I committed the changes to SVN, I guess that's enough :).


Thanks,
Enrico
