The problem is that Gnome has infected GTK to the point that it's really hard to avoid all their (imo) poor design choices (like lack of menu bars, hidden scrollbars, dialog dismiss buttons on top right) if you're using a GTK based DE like XFCE.

GTK has a menubar widget. GtkDialog is deprecated. Just use a GtkWindow and design it how you feel.

The menubar widget is removed in GTK 4. There is GtkPopoverMenubar in GTK 4, but it is not equivalent of traditional menubar.
