I also liked this feature but I aggree that just right-clicking is too
dangerous.

Two proposals: Bind the function on Ctrl+middle click for example.
Nobody does this accidently. The alternative would be that Xfce brings
up a confirm dialog if the user wants really to kill that window. This
is the way IceWM handles this, if I remember correctly.

Making a configuration option is not a really good idea because too much
options for everything are bad. Maybe an hidden option only in the
configuration file.
