Hi Willie, Calum, We might want to bring in some Orca users.
So long as ESC works to dismiss these dialogs, I don't see an impediment to removing the CLOSE button. I guess the issue is that blind users wouldn't be able to tell when a dialog box is close-able that way (if they can't navigate to an "X" in the window manager in a closeable dialog that lacks a window menu with Alt-F4 close on it). Again, I think we should get the input from some users...
