Well, a modal window does not have a zoom button. The parent can.

For the sheet dialog, only the parent window is relevant here.

I think the normal UI way is to add a "Close" push button at the  
bottom-right part of the window. This may even close both the sheet  
and the parent window.

BTW: It seems strange to me to use a sheet with its parent to be both  
closed in the same time. I think there is probably a better way to  
achieve that.
