Hrm?  "Preserve/restore open tabs automatically on Ctrl-Q without
asking" sounds like exactly the behavior I'd like to have.  Turning on
showQuitWarning gives me almost exactly the behavior I'd like, except
for having a prompt to save tabs or not.  I assumed that checking the
"Do not ask next time" box and clicking "Save and Quit" would cause
"Save and Quit" to become the default when I hit Ctrl-Q; however, that
checkbox didn't seem to have any effect.
