can we please re-stop this ubuntu bashing? this may be a window manager issue and there are window managers which don't display the boxes on the title bar (or even don't have a title bar at all). most if not all scribus dialog can now be closed by typing the esc key. if not it's a bug and must be fixed. in 1.3.6 the master pages can be closed with the esc key, so need to report a bug on this, though. ciao a.l.e
