[GNC] Locking the side bar items

[R Losey]

Yes, I always use File->Quit to quit the program (in fact, I don't like the
move toward removing this option and just hitting the "X").

I use the "X" to close tabs all the time in GnuCash... I didn't even know
that there was a menu item. I've never confused the tab close button with
anything else.

I guess I've just trained myself to keep these actions separated.
