Description

Many people who use my guac systems have unintentionally closed their window/tab with ctrl-w in a command line session.  I have added the beforeUnload event listener code to prevent this, but it currently impacts all windows.  I'd like it to be in effect only for active connection tabs.  Could someone help me find a way to reliably determine if the user is currently in a remote connection vs in a menu?  Thanks!
