From what alans saying it sounds like it does unwanted things to the
layers dialog etc, which are not something we want to mess up by default. If this was so significant, it needed raising a long time ago so the kinks could be ironed out.

Although it is not a bug per se there is/was an option to "Show Close button on dialog" that is unfortunately disabled by default, which defeats the purpose of the Close button. The Gnome HIG recommends including close buttons on dialogs like the Preferences dialog to make things that much clearer for beginners, but if it is off by default Inkscape beginners who it is intended for cannot know to turn it on themselves.
There is an open request for just such functionality so that the Export bitmap dialog might have a Close button: [ 1096715 ] add optional "close" buttons to all dialogs https://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=1096715&gr...
It's way too late in the game to do anything about this for 0.45.0.
My intention was that for now the setting be switched on by default, which should only be a one liner (and I would have included a patch with my previous comment only the feature seems to have moved) as a change that small shouldn't be a problem to slip in even at this late stage. Sure there would be quite a bit more needed to be done after that but the rest could wait.
Okay, send the patch and Aaron and I will consider it for inclusion. I'll need it ASAP though if you want it in for 0.45.0.
