Well a quick example is going into YELP for the nautilus docs, selecting
edit->find, and then trying to close the find window with 'esc'.  To my
thinking this should work, even though the button says 'close' and not
'cancel'.  Is this a case where a bug should be filed, or is it
something that would go to usability or something like that?
