Bug Description

None of the settings windows opened from the System Settings dialog respond to the Ctrl-w shortcut for closing windows.

Steps to reproduce:

 1. Open the System Settings dialog via the indicator menu
 2. Open a window for any individual setting (Sound, Keyboard, Power,....)
 3. Type Ctrl-w

What happens: Nothing
What should happen: The settings window should close

Ctrl-w is a common keyboard shortcut for closing windows in Linux. So are Ctrl-q and Escape. The settings windows do not respond to any one of these.

This only affects individual settings windows like Sound, Power, and so forth. The main System Settings window does respond to Ctrl-q and closes in response to it.

Is there a Human Interface Guideline document for GNOME that I could reference in the report? Surely this is a violation.

This bug was fixed in the package gnome-control-center - 1:3.2.2-2ubuntu2

---------------
gnome-control-center (1:3.2.2-2ubuntu2) precise; urgency=low

  * debian/libgnome-control-center1.symbols: restore the symbols tracking,
    since we build external capplets we better check they don't break
  * debian/rules: don't build shlibs for a library which stopped being
    distributed in GNOME3
  * debian/patches/94_git_adding_shortcuts.patch:
    - let add custom shortcuts in any categorie
  * debian/patches/95_git_ctrlw_shortcut.patch:
    - ctrl-W close capplets and go back to the overwiew (lp: #863549)
