Escape in PowerPoint closes the display, and I think we should /by default/ follow suit regardless of setup.

We've had instances of people starting OpenLP and getting stuck behind the display window and not being able to close it without killing the process. Although we could try and do clever things to detect where screens are, it always seems to get confused in some situations when we've tried this.

Is ESC defined in the configure keyboard shortcuts? If so, then the user should be able to deassign it there at their own risk if they really need to. If not, can we add it to this list?

As an aside, there seems to be some situations recently where a single screen user is getting the display window over the app window when they first run, and ESC isn't working. We need to fix this. I think the issue was raised on Ubuntu and they had to switch to a virtual console to kill openlp. This leaves a bad first impression.
