Can I suggest that you generally DON'T kill the buffer?  (I'm not sure
what the rationale for killing it is?)

(if we can't work around a usage issue, I'll look at how you might
change it -- probably re-defining a system function to query, or maybe
even something like:

(defun ajr:kill-buffer ()
  "AJR: Prevent self-stupidity."
  (interactive)
  (if (yes-or-no-p "Do you really but really want to kill a buffer ")
      (kill-buffer)))
(global-set-key "\C-x k" 'ajr:kill-buffer)

This doesn't do the right thing, but it's close.  Probably, you want a
(second? only?) question asking which buffer to kill, and pass that to
kill-buffer. 

At least with XEmacs, 'kill-buffer' is a primitive (C implemented)
function, and not readily available.
