Bug Description

In Linux all Dialogs have no OK/Cancel buttons.
That's ok, it's not GNOME/KDE standard - but someone can get used to it.
But I think It would be a HUGE workflow improvement to be able to close all
dialogs not only with the mouse on the "X" but also just with the keyboard,
ESC button.
It would be very easy to implement that and really a big advantage in
working speed.

Allows for dialogs to close when escape is pressed Edit (1.6 KiB, text/plain)

I have created a patch that grants the desired behavior that you have described. I don't have commit access so someone will have to commit it to svn.
