Bug Description

using Evince 3.4.0 in Ubuntu 12.04

the keyboard shortcut for closing the Evince window is totally different from other programs.

in all the programs i know the shortcut for closing the window is STRG+Q and this should be a system-wide shortcut for consistency

in Evince the shortcut actually is STRG+W

thank you for your bug report, that's not really true, ctrl-W is what i.e eog uses (check the menus), it's just that evince doesn't seem to bind ctrl-Q to quit
