Bug Description
I would have expected CTRL +W to close the existing image selection not exit the application in total. It appears to act the same way as CTRL + Q.

<https:/
Note that this behavior was implemented as designed (Inkscape being a document-centric application). 'File > Close' (Ctrl+W) closes the current document window, and if it is the last open window, the application quits.
Due to popular demand, the next major version of Inkscape (0.91) will open a new empty document if the last open document is closed with 'File > Close' (Ctrl+W) (instead of quitting the application). The behavior of 'File > Quit' (Ctrl+Q) remains unchanged - it will close all open document windows and quit the application.
