Thanks, installed on the release branch, after some cleanup and update
of the docs.

I'm just being proactive -- the very next bug report we will get is
why yes-or-no-p behaves differently wrt use of dialog boxes.  Even in
the recipe you posted here, yes-or-no-p behaved differently.  It makes
no sense to me to have such subtle differences, especially when many
people replace one of these function by the other, and we even have a
user option nowadays to do that automatically.

Start Emacs, then set confirm-kill-emacs to t.
Close the last frame on the only terminal by clicking the close button
on the WM frame window.  Emacs will ask:

  Really exit Emacs? (y or n)

in the echo area, instead of displaying a popup dialog as in Emacs 28.
This makes it difficult to close Emacs using only the mouse.
