It's common convention that title bar close buttons of windows do a
cancel-close. Especially if inside the window there are both "Cancel"
and "OK" buttons as well.

Hint: only using the "OK" button should confirm input or changes.
Closing the window by any other means (i.e. "Cancel"-button, title bar
close button, hitting the [Esc] key, killing or crashing the
application) never does.
