I've copied this thread to eclipse.platform since it is not JDT-related.

Padmasini, although Ed has offered several options to close the extra
window, they are all provided by the OS window manager, not Eclipse
itself (so they might be different on different platforms). I suggest
you open an enhancement request in Bugzilla to request a menu item for
closing the window, something like File > Close Window or Window > Close.
