It might be that the application itself responds to Alt+F4 (although unlikely).

Openbox window manager
I use the openbox window manager on the siduction distribution. What I want to know is how to stop openbox from killing a window when Alt-F4 is pressed. I've tried deleting A-F4 from the default key bindings in the openbox source and recompiling the Debian package and reinstalling it. I've renamed the system wide resource file in /etc/xdg/openbox/rc.xml and I've removed the A-F keybinding from my local resource file (~/.config/openbox/rc.xml). It still kills a client window with that key depression. I've got an editor which uses the function keys and I am happy with it. It's openbox which has to be altered. Has anybody any idea of how to stop openbox having this behaviour?
