Comment 11 for bug 170550

One more voice. Lot of applications (on Windows at least) has Ctrl+Q to quit (or Alt+F4), Ctrl+W to close current document (or Ctrl+F4).

The MS Office Word 2003 application I use at work is document centric, opening an annoying additional windows for each document I open (I find this cluttering the task bar, but that's another debate). I have the same behavior with Gimp 2.6.
In both applications (and a number of others I know), if I close the last opened document, it shows either a blank / empty document, or a blank interface, waiting for the New document command.

I was sufficiently annoying to see (yet another time...) Inkscape to close when I hit Ctrl+W to close the current (only) document to search if there was a cure (and found this bug instead).
