I think so... how do these differ in operation? I think they do exactly 
the same thing?

If you want to re-enable the three options in the shut down dialog, you 
can do this (including the quotes) on your host command line when the 
Emulator is not running:

$ VBoxManage setextradata "SailfishOS Emulator" "GUI/RestrictedCloseActions"

But I will keep shipping the Emulator with just the one option enabled 
also in the future releases.

Best regards,
