I'm not sure either :) when I filed this bug initially, I only had in
mind the option B (and as such, I believe it to be best). Only shortly
after did I realize that most gnome prefs dialogs have close buttons.
But then, when you think about it, they don't have menus, so this makes
us different. So I'd tend to think that removing the Close button would
solve the problem without side-effects.

Status in GUI for ufw: Confirmed

Bug description:
There's some inconsistency in the way that there is a "Close" button that does the same thing as the "Quit" menu item, but they are labelled differently. There are two ways to solve this, I think:

A) Rename "Quit" to "Close" for consistency
B) Consider the close button in the main gui as "rendundant" and get rid of it:
- it duplicates the functionality of the window manager's close button
- it appears in almost the same "toolbar region" as contextual firewall rule actions such as Add and Remove
- however, I noticed that other gnome "preferences" dialogs systematically have a Close button there. As such, it may be an argument towards solution A.

Unless you're telling me that in this case, Quit and Close really are different?
