Hi,
before 6.4.1 final is released and the current situation gets locked in
place (hence blocker status), I propose we change the exit-gui keyboard
shortcut keys.
* ctrl-q quits the entire gui
* ctrl-w closes the current map display window
effective in all branches.
currently ctrl-w quits the entire gui in wxGUI, ctrl-q in tcltk gui.

windows are closed by `ctrl-w`.
I'd leave them as-is, although if ctrl-w closed map display windows too it
makes it a bit risky that you close the wrong one? I guess there's the
"Are you sure?" backup for that though.
My main point is "W" to close Windows (or document tabs, as may be the
case in various other software); "Q" to Quit the entire program.
