Now after the release I got to fix this. It's all commited by r21466. 
Changes:
 
- removed implicit/central buttons of DAD dialogs from the both gtk and 
lesstif
 
- added explicit, per DAD dialog close buttons - "cancel", "ok", "close", 
and whatever the given dialog needs
 
- the specific dialog box you reported, export, got a "close" button only.
 
Please test this with different dialogs. If there's a dialog where a close 
button doesn't work or more buttons are needed, please let me know.
 
Best regards,
 
Igor2
