29.0.91; Dialog box not displayed upon closing frame |

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.

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.
