How can I make it harder to close these windows?
I looked at Gnome Tweaks, but could not find anything.
I keep accidentally closing them.
You can not do that for just those two windows
BUT
You can remove the closebutton from all windows
dconf write /org/mate/marco/general/button-layout "'menu:minimize,maximize'"
to undo this action (in other words, to get the closebutton back)
dconf write /org/mate/marco/general/button-layout "'menu:minimize,maximize,close'"
or use the dconf-editor
(Keep in mind that you can always close every window by using the windowlist in the panel)

I did not put all the details in my post.
I want there to be no way to close a window that is already being displaced.
I also need a way to not be able to minimize that windows as well.
And to disable Alt F4 as well.
This did not help me in my endeavor.
andy@7:~$ dconf write /org/mate/marco/general/button-layout "'menu:minimize,maximize'"
Then use this, it will remove all the buttons:
dconf write /org/mate/marco/general/button-layout "'menu:'"

It did not work.
I am using version 22.04 if that is relevant.
I will restart my machine and see what happens.
Sorry, I can't remember if or how it was managed in 22.04 (I don't run it anymore)
Best bet is to start dconf-editor and use the search function for 'button-layout'
It should respond immediately, no reboot required

You had the solution. And I learned a lot.
