Hi.

What you want isn't supported.

Using a Layer.Vector and a Control.SelectFeature is recommended.
Although it would lead to more code on your side it would give you
more flexibility.

If you really want to use Layer.Text you can probably monkeypatch the
prototype of feature so popups are created with a closebox by default:

var _createPopup = OpenLayers.Feature.prototype.createPopup;
OpenLayers.Feature.prototype.createPopup = function() {
    _createPopup.call(this, true);
};
