So?  I like Alt+F4, just like how I like being able to get a window's system
menu by hitting alt+space.  But I use IceWM, aka the only WM which is fast
and has a proper amount of keyboard shortcuts.

It should be a choice.  We should have a central keyboard shortcut
repository, with two inbuilt configs -- one Windows, one Emacs -- with a
default of Windows.  That'd ease the transistion to Gnome of Windows users,
and let those weird Emacs people use their wacked-out shortcuts >;-)
