IMO, any windows (including dialog windows) should have way to close its
without "close window" icon from WM decoration.
Rationale:
1. Under X11 you can start application but don't start window manager at
all. (And I use this way from time to time). Therefore, you will
don't have "close" icon from WM.
2. WM's "close" icon at decoration is smaller than "regular GTK+
button" (and it is normal). Therefore, WM's icon is harder to plump
by mouse and requires more time (~ 5 sec. vs. 0.5 sec. in my case).
