Correct, you wrote "Kontact", according to this:

http://bugs.kde.org/show_activity.cgi?id=200684

... which, as a shell application embedding KMail,
is in some sense even further removed from Compo-
ser.

In your bug report, you wrote: "We came to the
conclusion that Ctrl-Q should always quit an app,
no matter which window is active."

The "no matter which window is active" part indi-
cates that you're unaware that the composer win-
dow is not technically part of Kontact (nor KMail),
but in fact standalone, and can be run without
Kontact/KMail being run. Yet going by your report,
you likely expect that Ctrl+Q in the Composter
quits Kontact/KMail when Composer was opened from
there. This requires some extra work, which pro-
bably hasn't been done, and is likely the reason
why Ctrl+Q isn't defined in Composer, as not to
confuse the user by Ctrl+Q closing the Composer,
but not Kontact/KMail.
