It may be convention, but it still confuses people.  The HIG would love
to say that alert and dialog titlebars shouldn't have a Close button
unless the dialog is instant apply.  The only reason it doesn't say that
is because it's not technically possible to hide the Close button in
metacity, AFAIK.
