Indeed, in single player game, the "normal" quit key sequence should display 
the save game dialog, and then return to the main menu. In network, it should 
only display a confirmation. The only direct quit should be sigterm. Even 
there, during a game sigterm should bring up the save game or confirmation 
dialog, and only then quit. A second sigterm in the dialog should quit while 
discarding the current game. If I remember correctly, SIGTERM generates a 
SDL_QUIT event.

Have a nice day.
