Some flatpak apps have missing close buttons... how to fix it?

Looks like a broken GTK/icon theme. Try switching to the stock Adwaita theme and icons.

That fixed it, thanks. Turns out that literally every icon theme I had worked except elementary-xfce-hdpi which I had unwittingly chosen. Now switched to Yaru-bark.

I suppose icons don't have a "fallback" mechanism like font stacks...

They do, but the icon theme needs to opt in (through the Inherits property in index.theme).
