This is an incorrect assumption. All dialogs with a close button should not be switched to a Finish button. They should be changed to use the label and icon most appropriate for what the dialog does. In the case of the background properties dialog, I determined that we should use the GTK_STOCK_APPLY icon (because the OK/close icons suck), with the label of Finish. This may not be the best combination for other properties or preferences dialogs. It is certainly not a good thing for error dialogs, and other similar alert dialogs.
