Where would discussion of this go then?  For the find dialoge I think
that it's pretty cut and dry that 'esc' == close, but I'd like to see
why people think differently.  I'll hit the archives to find the
close/cancel discussion.

Maybe it's just a matter of filing FRE bugs to any single operation
dialogs that seem that it would make sense to close with esc, and then
see what the authors think :)
