Bug Description
Hi,
Why does pressing Ctrl+W close Inkscape instead of just closing an opened file? This is not right.
Please fix this, it's very annoying.
Kind regards,
Daniel

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.
