Alt + W logs out of graphical session
Issue Description
The Alt + W keyboard shortcut logs me out of the graphical session when the desktop wallpaper is in focus. It is not defined via keyboard shortcuts, window manager, or the desktop program.
When closing a bunch of windows sometimes it makes me log out on accident, which can be a harmful thing for unsaved data.

Steps to Reproduce Issue
- Focus cursor on desktop
- Press
Alt + W
Expected Behavior
The graphical sessions remains active, no action is performed.
