Result on Linux

Try to run the following example on Linux (Ubuntu 13.04 64Bit Gnome edition with Gnome Shell / GTK+ 3.8.3):

http://www.java2s.com/Code/Java/SWT-JFace-Eclipse/ChildShellExample.htm

On linux, the child shell doesn't have any Close button even if created with SWT.CLOSE, SWT.DIALOG_TRIM or any combination of styles.

The same example, if run on windows, does show the close button as expected.

I guess you run with a gnome theme (like Adwaita) that doesn't show close buttons. I get the same experience like you with Adwaita(and the screenshots make me think its adwaita) but if I switch to e.g. Clearlooks the close button is shown. 
Please confirm. If this is the case I don't think there is much that can be done from SWT side.

No response in awhile and this seems to be a theming issue -- closing this ticket now.
