If I accidentally close a tab, I can find it again by going to History >> Recently Closed Tabs. Very nice. However, if I accidentally close a window (which usually only happens when it has a single tab), I find that "Recently Closed Tabs" is grayed out. So not only can I not restore the window, but I wouldn't be able to restore any tabs closed earlier. Note that usually, when I accidentally close a window, I don't actually know what I closed (because it was accidental), which is really frustrating, because then I have no idea what I lost. If a user gets frustrated and confused, that's usually a sign of a UI that could be improved. Moreover, all destructive actions should have some sort of undo; the Undo option does not apply to windows, which seems like a major oversight.
I suggest either adding recently closed windows to the "recently closed tabs" menu (particularly if that window had only one tab), or adding a "recently closed windows" option.
