Confirmed, the dialog has that. However, this is an issue with the way the window manager presents the window.
There was an old Motif hint for suppressing the minimize button, but I doubt it is still honored. Most window managers consider that the user should be able to minimize a window, unless it is a modal window.

In this case, the window should not be modal, ie the user should be able to interact with the rest of the windows

However, pitti recently made a transient gnome-mount progress window that had similar requirements.

Ted: could you take a look at the way pitti implemented the gnome-mount transient window?
