Totally disabling close is pretty drastic.  When the VM has went wrong
closing it is a valid option.  How about trapping close and throwing up
an "Are you sure?" dialog?  Give enough info to let a new user know that
clicking the "Yes" button might corrupt the VM's filesystem and cause
other permanent data loss.
