Affects: file-roller (Ubuntu)
       Severity: Normal
       Priority: (none set)
         Status: Unconfirmed

Description:
Behaviour of Ctrl+W in file-roller is inconsistent with other
applications. Nautilus, Firefox and some other programs close the window
when the last tab is closed using Ctrl+W, but file-roller keeps the
window open and just closes the archive.

The current behaviour makes a little sense in that Nautilus, Firefox,
gnome-terminal and others don't "open" and "close" files as file-roller
does. On the other hand, if you use the "Open" command in file-roller to
open a new archive, a new window will be opened. It would then seem
logical to have a 1-1 mapping from files to file-roller windows,
although this would be problematic when file-roller is invoked as a
stand-alone application (rather than by clicking an archive in
Nautilus).
