The problem is that sometimes you definitely want it off (e.g. if the
dialog already contains a notebook).

If the theme controls it, the theme setting would be "if there's a
separator, do/don't show it" - that might make sense though.
In that case we'd leave the API as-is and deprecate nothing.

Maybe you can already do this in a theme by setting x/y thickness to 0
for GtkDialog.*GtkSeparator. Though that's wrong since it'd also kill
other separators in the dialog. We could gtk_widget_set_name() on the
above-buttons separator perhaps.
