The source is the barely noticeable X item on the right side of the main menu bar.
The easiest way to stop Alt+X activating that item is to assign this keyboard shortcut to another command in the Shortcut Mapper. For example, assign it to File > Rename... because it always displays a window (asking for new file name) before executing the command so unwanted activation can be canceled by Esc before it does anything.
