Thanks!

BTW, I was just going to forward-port the patch to Frameworks (kwidgetsaddons), but I see that KMessageWidget does not use KStandardAction any more. I think that this means that no shortcut is assigned to the "close" action in Frameworks anyway, so this patch is not needed there. If I got that wrong, please let me know.

> KMessageWidget uses KStandardAction::close() to create its "close" action. This automatically sets Ctrl+W as the shortcut for that action. Unfortunately, this shortcut may conflict with application-specific shortcuts. E.g., Dolphin uses Ctrl+W for closing tabs, which means that the user will get an annoying "shortcut conflict" error message if Ctrl+W is pressed while multiple tabs are open, and the current tab has a message shown in a KMessageWidget.
