This is a window manager setting.  App developers can give
window managers some hints what kind windows are of (e.g.
with gtk_window_set_type_hint), but user has the last word.
If I tell my window manager to put close buttons on all
window title bars, they will all have close buttons.  If
I tell my window manager I don't want title bar on some
window, it won't have any title bar.  And window manager
usually allow to close windows with a keyboard shortcut too,
so you have to handle delete events correctly anyway.

To conclude, this is not under app developer control nor
anything you should really care of.
