Not at the moment. It might make a useful system-wide preference if/when all such apps put the close button there (and personally I hope they do-- I hate the way Firefox 1.5 does it)-- there's a GNOME bug open about that where you might like to register your feelings: http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=72101 A better fix would probably be to have gnome-terminal to pop up an alert if the shell you were about to close still had child processes running... the terminal on OS X manages to do this, so maybe it's possible for us too.
