Yes.

Oh, you also want to know _how_? Well..

If the user clicks into your close box, your DA's close routine gets called.
It then should close the frontmost window (which presumably is the one which
the user clicked the close box of) and return an _error_ to prevent the Desk
manager from deallocating your DA.

Simple, huh?
