Bug Description

there is no close button (or help button) at the bottom
of the prefs dialog.

even though you can close the dialog using the window
decoration Gnome does recommend including a
button at the bottom of the dialog (I've filed a
request[1])

also this would be more consistent with other programs
like Mozilla and the GNU Image Manipulation Program
which have this kind of dialog.

The dialog is even weirder in the version 0.91, it gets transparent! Come on, make it normal.

I can confirm this bug. There are no obvious buttons to close it (not even an X in the top corner).

Hitting <Esc> does not close the Preferences dialog box - it only turns transparent. The only way to close it is via <Alt F4> or using the window controls from clicking on the dialog title bar.

I'm using Cinnamon on Fedora 22 with v0.91.

I've been using computers since the early 1980s, and find this behavior strange.
