Olivier,

This is a bit confusing: now we have two buttons:

* If you declare "close" in the properties, you get a Close button in
the UI that tries to close the window. It if can't; it does nothing.
* If you declare "back" in the properties, you get a Close button in
the UI that tries to close the window. It if can't, it goes back to
the summary page.

I think we want to remove "back" and have the behavior of "close" be
the one of the current "back". This behavior is inspired by what is
done in Google Docs:

* If you open a document from their summary page, it opens in a new
window; closing it closes the window.
* If you bookmarked the URL of a document and go directly to that
document, closing goes to the summary page.

I made this change and updated the wiki with this information. For reference:

* RFE: http://forge.ow2.org/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=314779&group_id=168&atid=350207
* Updated wiki page:
http://wiki.orbeon.com/forms/doc/developer-guide/configuration-properties/configuration-properties-form-runner

This will be included in the next nightly build. Thank you for
bringing this up; I hope that this works for you.

Alex
