This used to work by default with early versions of GTK+ 2.x. Whenever
you pressed Esc in a dialog it sent a GTK_RESPONSE_DELETE_EVENT. But then
someone removed it for some whatever reason. I think the HIG people were
against it, but I think it was a good feature. Unfortunately kludging
around the library to put it back is a bit messy.

ALT+F4, or whatever is used in your window manager to close a window will
always work sanely in the GTK+ 2.x client, so you can use that.
