Huh??

The "Quit" button behavior has not changed unless you changed it.

The default behavior is to create a window that has five options
on it:  Logout, Restart, Shutdown, Suspend, Hibernate

Some of those may not be available if you are not in the proper
groups (that would be the plugdev group on Slackware), but you
get the idea.  If you choose "Logout" then it will (by default)
ask for confirmation, and if you confirm, it will kill your X
session.  You can disable asking for confirmation, and you can
even disable the option window (which would make it just logout
without asking).
