Created attachment 321497 [details] tip of the day dialog I use Debian and GNOME and it seems that dialogs don't have a X button to close. So the "Tip of the day" dialog can't be closed by the click of a button. I have to right click the title and select close. So maybe add a close button to the dialog.
Is that the entire dialog? There are no window decorations at all?
Yep. You can see the rounded corners at the top corners.
Created attachment 321527 [details] More dialog
I'm on debian unstable and GNOME shell, and the tips dialog has a title bar with close button, can you perhaps try a different window manager theme, or otherwise check the window manager settings? I've never seen this before. Does any other dialog in any other program have the same problem?
Yeah VLC have same problem with about dialog.
And all other dialogs have window manager close buttons?
Inkscape, ChatZilla extenstion for Iceweasel, KDiff3, Audacity, QT Linguist also don't have. It might be that QT don't honor a flag to show the X button, i think i read. I don't know if all the programs are made with QT. The built-in programs i have dont seem to have the same dialogs with tiny titlebar, they have some text buttons inside the titlebar and are bigger and stuff, so i dont know if they are the same type of dialogs.
There are no x button with these window theme: Adwaita (default) HighContrast The others does have the x button. Sadly Adwaita is the default.
I'm on Adwaita here too. I don't see what GIMP would be doing wrong, probably nothing, and the other programs probably not either. I think you should report this against the window manager. Is it gnome-shell? We can reassign the bug within this bug tracker then.
I don't know if its gnome-shell. I think its the default what ever that is.
Well that's your job to find out :)
How can i check?
Check the installed packages, and what processes are running.
gnome-shell is running.
Ok, I'm on gnome-shell 3.18.3 and it works fine, what's your version? Try "gnome-shell --version".
GNOME Shell 3.14.4 It depends on the selected window theme in Tweak. Some show a close button, some don't. Can you try all of them.
IMO the themes which don't show a close button are simply broken, simply use one which does?
I don't know what the norm is, but for new users to Linux this is not so nice because it is the default theme that have the problem. It might have been fixed in a later version. I don't know.
You should probably bring this up with the creators of the theme.
Ok.
I'm reassigning this to gnome-shell, they are the ones who can give proper advice here. My guess is that this is fixed in a recent version, but again only they can tell.
