That would be more consistent with the behavior. But it's also an
annoyance when Ctrl+Q doesn't quit the application (or at least close
the window), and you remember "oh, right," and then do Ctrl+W. This
happens to me all the time with Xfce's Thunar file manager.

Maybe the behavior can vary, depending on whether the program was
started as a standalone app, versus a plug-in. It seems that as long as
it's not doing plug-in stuff, the delays aren't needed. (On a separate
note, I hope long TCP connect times and such won't make the program
silently vanish on me!)

Anyway, it's a minor quibble. I do love Grdc^WRemmina, because unlike
plain rdesktop(1), it lets the window manager receive keystrokes. It's
made RDP on Linux usable again for me :)
