[Usability] Primary window decorated as a dialog in an utility application?

["Артём Попов" <artfwo gmail com>]

Hi all,

I just wanted to know if GUP people consider okay to decorate an
application primary window as a dialog with some small utilities, as
seen in gfloppy: it does not have a menu or statusbar, but has some
dialog-like buttons in the bottom.

This also raises another question: should such an app mimic the
GtkDialog appearance (the separator, spacings, etc.) or not? If yes,
than is it okay to use GtkDialog class directly (note, that GtkDialogs
do not have a minimize button by default)? If not, then what spacings
and decorations are considerer "standard" in such a case?

And finally, how "Help" and "About" info could be made available in
such an app? I was thinking about a help button in the "action-area"
and a "--about" command-line option like in Zenity.

Thank you for your answers. --Artem
