Re: Accessibility aspects of Close buttons on dialogs?

Yep we should have the "close" button with the gtk+ dialog. I am not too
sure of others but i run the applications in a scenario wherein i dont run
the window manager at all. I thought that providing window manager "close"
option is helpful but the applications cannot assume the window manager and
infact for the twm window manager, you don't have a close button on the
right top corner anyway.
my thoughts
