It's a Catch-22: Add buttons for GUIs that don't have a close and be redundant
in GUIs that do, or have no buttons for some GUIs.  What about the other
actions like "minimize" and "maximize"?  Does Windows have those, but no
"close" button?

I'll add a note explaining the extra title-bar removal and reparenting is a
KDE thing.  That sure seems like an "undocumented behavior" reliance.  I've
seen KDE, but never used it for extended periods.  Why does it not have some
of the action controls, and should that be something in Octave GUI's purview?

"If a title bar widget is set, QDockWidget will not use native window
decorations when it is floated."

Yes, such an annoyance this is.  This means that none of the color CSS styles
regarding border apply to the floated variable-editor panels.  OK, then use a
QFrame...but the QDockWidget has the added title-bar above the setWidget()
that it encapsulates so how can one put a frame around the whole thing? 
Multiply inherit a QDockWIdget and QFrame?  Messes with the MOC table.  Oy.
