In the QT interface I can show the QR Code for addresses but can't then dismiss the QR Code popup window.
It needs a 'Close' button alongside 'Save As' .
I expect I could hit escape on the keyboard to get rid of it, but my escape key is broken, and anyway it's not good to have to use the keyboard to dismiss a window that was created using just the mouse.
Most window managers have an "X" at the left or right side of the titlebar.
I know, right?

I don't know if some special effort was made to not have an 'X' on this window, but either way I don't see it.
Odd, it's there for me...
Does the Sign Message dialog have this same problem?
Yes, it does.
I'm using Cinnamon version 1.2 -- http://cinnamon.linuxmint.com/
I notice now that Alt-F4 dismisses the window for me. But would still prefer to have a way of doing it with the mouse.
It should be a normal window dismissable with the 'x' in the corner.
I am spooked why the window has no window manager chrome in your case.
I can't reproduce this, and haven't heard any other complaints about it.
This makes it likely that the problem lies with your window manager (and its interaction with Qt), not bitcoin.
Perhaps we could / should at the possibility to close all windows except the main one, via Esc? Would that be hard to implement?
I don't think that'd be hard. I wouldn't be surprised if Qdialog had send-close-event-on-esc behavior built in that can be enabled.
Otherwise, easiest way would ne to make our own QDialog subclass that has this.
Look at this and search for Escape Key: http://qt-project.org/doc/qt-4.8/QDialog.html It should work already ... at least on Windows it does :), I verified that with the current official 0.6 and my own version.
It's probably a bug in cinnamon, yes. It's a very young desktop environment, I think it started as a response to GNOME 3 taking away the panels that GNOME 2 users were used to using. I switched to XFCE4 now, and the close icon appears as it should.
I suggest closing this as "not a bitcoin bug".
You opened this and you can close it :).
OK then, I guess I will.
