Description Bastien Nocera 2011-11-27 23:21:31 UTC 
gnome-shell-3.2.1-2.fc16.x86_64

The close button is only shown when the windows are hovered. Touchscreens can't hover. Cursor is hidden when the only pointing device is a touchscreen.

Always show the close buttons (on all windows)?
Comment 2 Jakub Steiner 2012-08-08 23:17:38 UTC 
Until all touch devices have eye trackers, that would be my recommendation ;)
Comment 3 Allan Day 2013-01-03 17:44:49 UTC 
Showing close buttons on all windows is proposed in bug 691083.

seems like everybody agrees on the solution, so let's keep things simple and mark this a duplicate then.
