I want the Cancel alternative to work just like C-g works in the
command line alternative.

Well, it sounds like there would not be much of a point to display a
cancel button if inhibit-quit is t, and it would also appear
inappropriate to ring the bell (which is usually done for a lot of
situations where quit is signaled).
Good points.
