GnuCash is not a "Linux" program (in the sense that Linux is the only
platform it runs on). It is multi-platform. On a Windows platform, at
least, Control-F4 or Control-W is the "standard" UI command to close a
window, but may not be the same on all the other platforms that
GnuCash runs on (Linux, Mac, etc)..

Ideally, if possible, a multi-platform program should have a
consistent UI. The problem is that (generically speaking)  a UI is not
the same on all platforms. And hence, some keyboard shortcuts (such as
the Control-F4 mentioned) are not going to give the same result on all
platforms. But as long as the menus are the same on all platforms,
that's more important (for consistency). IMO.
