A good compromise would be "Discard changes". But then we'd need "Save
changes", and "Exit application" buttons, for symmetry. That seems natural
: two of the buttons apply to changes, while the third apply to the
application. Explicitly stating it make everything clearer, but it's a bit
verbose.
as long as it doesn't end up looking like Windows 7 copy/replace dialog (

it.
