Seems like a good idea. However,

a) I don't understand why Mozilla fails to bind Ctrl+Q to
quit by default. That's everyone else's binding.

and

b) The directions on that page don't indicate that there is
a command called, for instance, 'cmd_quit'. So even though
the bindings XML file is clear on what goes where, it's not
clear which command I'd use. Which I guess brings up point
c):

c) It's a very circa-1999 Linux design to put GUI
configuration inside of files that one has to edit at the
command line.

Looks like the lack of a proper binding has been around for
a while:
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=241564

There's been no activity on that bug for a year. One guy
actually insisted that the lack of Ctrl+Q was a *feature*.
