Such buttons are ugly and never work properly for users who use
non-default themes or use theming applications.

And how would users know about this? You know that users don't read the
docs...
I have a hard time seeing the benefit of such extended auto-close
behavior. We already have fine grained auto-close behavior, admitted one
setting for all operations. But what's the big gain here? There's a
dialog staying open until you click OK, but that dialog contains
important information. So for me that's not a big deal at all.
