Title:
  Close menu item seems to violate Gnome HIG

Status in “software-center” package in Ubuntu:
  Won't Fix

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: software-store

  In the specification for the software store is the following:

  "“Close” should, by default, exit the Software Store without
  prompting. "

  It also says that CTRL+W should trigger this item (and thus quit the
  application).

  However,  the Gnome HIG says:

  Quit	Ctrl-Q	Closes the application. 
  Close	Ctrl-W	Closes the current document.

  It seems that to stay consistent with other applications, "Close" in
  the file menu should become "Quit".

  More information here:
  http://developer.gnome.org/projects/gup/hig/1.0/menus.html#the-file-
  menu under "Closing Operations"

  (I mentioned this in the thread on Ubuntu forums, but thought it best
  to post as a bug so it doesn't get lost)
