Yes, as far as I know, Motif distincts between function hints and
decoration hints.
So, function hints determine which functions are permitted on a window and
decoration hints which window decorations are visible.

And MWM doesn't have a close button, so probably there is no Motif hint to
turn off the close button.

But, I suppose EWMH might define such an hint.
I'm not sure, since I don't have a close button in my FVWM...
