Taboo Saves You From Yourself
It works great for me in Tiger. I haven't tested it in Panther, so proceed there at your own risk.

SiPod, I am on broadband but I will have a poke around in there anyway and see what I can find. Thanks for the tip, I didn't think to look there.

Cyberwhore, assuming you're on a modem, go to Apple Menu : System Preferences : Network : "Show" Internal Modem : "PPP" tab : "PPP Options..." button. There you'll find peace and contentment.

A window that states 'you have x tabs open, do you wish to close' and THEN have a check box stating "do not show this again" that way the people who don't like it can make it go away, and the people who do like it don't have to download an extra program for it! Now about the fact that Safari gives no sort of feedback whenever it blocks a window...

It does add a fair number of options to your Safari menus though, so if you only want the warning, it's probably not worth all the cruft. But it does also allow you to re-order tabs by dragging them. Which is kinda cool.

For that I believe you need (arrow up)+CMD+W" Actually, I /meant/ CMD-Q'ing ;) CNTRL-EJECT isn't that difficult to do by accident on a cluttered desk, trust me :)
