I would like either!
Seems like it was decided by someone and I missed the discussion.
But Espen Sand had sent me this note:
From kde-core-devel last Thursday (Stefan Taferner):
<MSG>
It's now Ctrl-E to terminate an app.
And closing a window with Ctrl-W is gone.
</MSG>
I think I saw it on
http://www.esh.uni-linz.ac.at/~mother/hci/keys/shortcuts.html
also but it is not there any more. I may be wrong here.

My personal vote is for Ctrl-Q too since it was/is a standard in 1.1.x and
changing the standard is generally a bad idea unless some real strong
reasons exist.
