This surely must be in the FAQ by now.

The answer is:

You can disable the f.close option by setting the shell resource XmNdeleteResponse
to XmDO_NOTHING.  However, you should never just do this.  Instead you should set
this, and then set up a protocol handler so that your code is called to handle
the close.  Otherwise you'll end up with an irate user.  To set up a handler...

    atoms[0] = XmInternAtom(XtDisplay(widget), "WM_DELETE_WINDOW", False);
    XmAddWMProtocols(widget, atoms, 1);
    XmAddWMProtocolCallback(widget, atoms[0], (XtCallbackProc)OmXWidgetDelete, (caddr_t)this);

I'm not sure which upsets me more: that people are so unwilling to accept
responsibility for their own actions, or that they are so eager to regulate
everyone else's.
