I don't really know what's the proposal anyway, so if someone can make
it clear, and with a clear justification, that would be helpful.

That's irrelevant: these bindings come from the UI environment (the
window-manager) and work regardless of what Emacs does (they send
a `delete' X11 event, IIRC, which Emacs handles properly by closing the
corresponding frame).
I.e. these bindings already work right in Gnome and KDE, without having
to bind M-f4 to anything inside Emacs.

Is M-f4 a standard binding in Windows, as it is in Gnome and KDE?
Does it normally do the same as in Gnome/KDE?
Does Emacs handle it correctly already by virtue of the key-binding
being caught before it is passed on to Emacs's usual key handling, just
as it happens in X11?
