Removing the close button might be possible by providing some window flags.

Check out examples/widgets/windowflags.py.

Unfortunately, this is highly window manager dependent, and needs to be tested 
literally in any OS/windowmanager (version(!)) combination, that you aim for. 
Another option is using a frameless window (that option should do everywhere), 
and do you own window movement/resize/whatever handling.. This can be 
interesting with multiple screens and workspaces, though..

Good luck,
