If you only have a close button then you probably don't need a button
controller.  Unless you want to do some read-only control of the
inputs but then you'd have to read the HIG for details of what they
want.

You can safely leave the buttons unset.  You may want to create your
own policy for gnome but I suspect you may only need the
IgnorantPolicy or perhaps an IgnorantReadonlyPolicy (which is simple
enough to write).
