Bug Description

version: 0.6.0-0
The specific OS is Mint 12 x64 (based on Ubuntu 11.10). More information available upon request.

I just installed the latest version for Ubuntu 11.10 and used it to clean out some junk which worked great. But after opening the preferences I can't find any way to close the preferences dialog box as there is no "close" button for it and because the preferences dialog box overrides the ability to interact with the main program window, I can't close the program itself either. I can minimize/maximize the main program window, but not close the program entirely. Although I haven't tried every feature, other than this issue the program seems really nice.

I'm not sure if the issue is because Mint is using Gnome Shell instead of Unity or if the button is just missing from the ui (I didn't find one in the UI file but I'm not a GTK programmer either), but running from a terminal I get the following error messages which may or may not be helpful:

Could you provide me a screenshot of Ubuntu Tweak with the opened preference dialog?

For the output, I can't give a answer about it. Thanks.

I tried the updated version from this morning but I still have the same problem.

Sorry, screenshot functionality isn't working correctly for me in Gnome Shell at the moment (doesn't want to capture the active window but shows windows that were closed minutes ago or minimized), had to take a picture with a camera. In Mate (Gnome 2 fork) the preferences dialog has a frame with a close button, in Gnome Shell it doesn't, only the parent window has one. Hopefully you can see from the picture what I'm talking about. I don't know if adding a close button to the dialog itself would be a big issue, but it might be the most theme independent option.
