This tells me that you have another stack (maybe invisible) that has 
focus.  Its menus are not set up properly to handled the command - w.  
Clicking on the stack that you think is causing the problem brings focus 
to that stack and you have set its menus up properly.  My suggestion 
would be to go through all stacks and make sure that the command -w is 
handled the way it should be.
