I agree that switching of dialog to the toolbox window is a good idea, but why remove buttouns in "window" mode? Instead of closing tool window by simple mouse click, users of tiling WMs must use key combination (2-3 key combination, always need to keep this combination in mind), and prior doing this you need to position cursor right above the window (in "focus follows mouse" configuration). It's easy to occasionally kill not targeted window...
So, I solved this problem for myself, now I use only docked dialogs, it's convenient, not like in older versions that don't have docks at all.
Let the gEDA developers perceive adding of "Close" buttons to all undocked windows as a proposal to improve usability for users with tiling WMs. But if this is impossible - no problem, we will simply use these windows docked. :)
There are much more serious problems in gschem than buttons, like crashes after some undos...
