Description Kat 2013-06-28 10:01:27 UTC 
After taking a screenshot, in the dialog that asks me to save the screenshot, there is no "cancel" button or any other way to cancel saving the screenshot if it needs to be discarded.

Add cancel buttons

I came across bug 517969, this report indicates there was a cancel button back in 2008. So why was it removed?

I hope my work has not gone waste here :/ I am just starting with C for GNOME so am picking up small bugs to fix.

Also, gnome-screenshot lacks a "X" which I think is required if the cancel buttons don't make it in to master. Basically someway to indicate to user that he can close the window without having to use the program. Most new users are unaware of 'Esc' and plus a hidden keybinding is not very intuitive.

Please review patch, thanks.

This is very much related to bug 701952. We removed the Cancel button, as the dialog had the standard close button on the titlebar. Due to that bug, the button is not displayed now - I'd rather have that back following the approach John took in his patch.

I'll close this bug as a duplicate, thanks for the patch anyway.
