I think we are talking about different things. Forget about the name Panic
and also about the interruption keys.

There is no new button. Right now, when using "Windows" -> "Close all
windows" only those that were not edited are closed. And I think that even
workspaces or other things, remind open. What Guillermo did was to change
the behavior of "Close all windows" so that ot REALLY closes ALL opened
windows, even if there had unsaved changes. This behavior of closing
everything was quite similar to what is known as "panic button" in other
dialects...this is why the relation.

I think this change is very useful.

Cheers

Mariano


Just to share my impression.
