Bug Description

Binary package hint: sonata

When I have sonata configured to minimize on window close, Ctrl+W still quits it. "Ctrl+W" is the shortcut for "close window", so it should do the same as closing the window. The shortcut to quit the application should be "Ctrl+Q", which does indeed work correctly.

As far as I can see, this is not fixed in the latest version (at least, it is not mentioned in the upstream change log).

I would disagree, outside of mac, convention is last window closes ->quit.
minimize to tray is a special type of minimizing/iconizing.(perhaps we should instead an extra shortcut for that for a bunch of applications).
