Thanks David.

Actually we don't want to disable the close button, during the launch 
of the application. Even if we do so, the "close" button gets enabled 
soon after putting the authentication dialog. (in 10.5)

The button remains enabled, even if we try to disable it.(using 
[[appMainWindow standardWindowButton:NSWindowCloseButton]
setEnabled:NO];).
