CTRL+W is there already on windows used in some apps, e.g. in Mozilla. It's 
all about sane defaults.

This is what I've already looked at. These settings are copied to kdeglobals 
[Shortcuts] section if differ from KDE defaults.
Since typical user on win32 will not be interested in "Shortcuts" section of 
KControl, what I planned is to have [Shortcuts] section preinstalled for this 
target. I guess the same is true for MacOSX.
