"Effectively what was suggested back then was that the close button design should be different from the close&quit button."

You don't give an argument *why* this is necessary.

"I believe we should remove the close button from the window decoration, where the application doesn't quit on window close.
The action associated with "closing without quitting the process" is more like minimizing or hiding.
Closing i.e. "(x)" is clearly mentally associated with quitting, and it should be absolutely unambiguous."

This would be a hack as a workaround for another hack. Why not *fix* it correctly by removing the wrong behavior in the first place?
