Unable to close window when opened in a tiling window manager

[vitosamson]

I'm running connman-gtk under bspwm, so the window titlebar is not shown and therefore I can't close the application window that way. In other applications (such as wicd-gtk) I can just ctrl-Q or ctrl-W, but that doesn't seem to work here. I'm not sure if this is a GTK thing or if those keys need to be explicitly mapped in the application. Currently I have to manually kill the process in order to close any window in the application.

Any idea what to do here?

Configure your WM to have a shortcut to close windows. ctrl-q or ctrl-w "just" make use of the shortcuts present inside most programs - but not all, like here.

Thanks, I wasn't sure if this was something that's typically handled by GTK.

Would it be possible to implement that here? I'd open a PR but I have 0 experience with GTK and my C is pretty rusty.

I'd prefer not to have global shortcuts for those keybindings in my WM - e.g. in the terminal, C-w is used to backspace a word.
