I've patched my system, so I'm not in a rush.  Thanks for the quick
response.

I've been looking for a replacement for kpdf, and my the top missing
features of qpdfview are being able to select text to copy out of the
document, and having a search limiting the thumbnails to the pages
with that term on it.

It was an enlightening easter egg hunt to go on, but I haven't found
anything standard sounding using E&xit.  The closest I found
where,

Qt shortcut documentation using E&xit, but not specifically in a file
menu, and given how inconsistent the official Qt programs are in using
E&xit and &Quit, that isn't used as much of a standard.
http://harmattan-dev.nokia.com/docs/library/html/qt4/qshortcut.html

GNOME Human Interface Guidelines, Standard Menus, which uses &Quit
https://developer.gnome.org/hig-book/3.4/menus-standard.html.en

Ubuntu, &Quit, but it wasn't specifically file menu,
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/CustomStatusMenuDesignGuidelines

Doing a Google search on both E&xit and &Exit gives most &Exit result
with using & instead of and, which isn't using it as a mnemonic.  I
found a few programming examples using E&xit, none using &Exit.  The
first ten pages of Google's search using &Exit gave one link using
&Exit for the file menu, and the requester clearly didn't know what
they were doing.

There was another reference using &Exit but it wasn't clear if it was
a file menu, the most common &Exit result was my bug report.
In another search there was this entry with &Exit for a button, but
for the file menu it was E&xit, and I think &Exit was just to not
conflict the mnemonic, of I assume the file menu, but it didn't go
into details.

I took a survey of all the programs in the Debian menu on my system
that have file menus.  I was surprised at how uncommon E&xit was, but
I didn't find any other program using &Exit.

programs with exit in their menu and &x for the mnemonic
chromium, E&xit
gvim E&xit
xfig, E&xit
Licq, E&xit
Qt Linguist, E&xit
ddd, E&xit
Audacity, E&xit
Qt Configuration, E&xit

programs with exit in their menu that don't use &x
stopwatch, Exit (no mnemonic)
BOINC Manager, Exit (no mnemonic)

programs that use something different
Firefox, &quit
konqueror, &quit
plan, &quit
pidgin, &quit
k3b, &quit
GOPchop, &quit
hugin, &quit
Image Magick, quit
inkscape, &quit
gimp, &quit
Xcircuit, quit
kdenlive, &Quit
PTBatcherGUI, &Quit
Xchat, &Quit
Ekiga, &Quit
KTorrent, &Quit
wireshark, &Quit
gnucash, &Quit
Qt Assistant, &Quit
Meld, &Quit
Timidity, &Quit
Sweep, Quit
grecord, &Quit
editres, Quit
Zapping, &Quit
xawtv, Quit
VLC media player, Quit
xine, Quit
gxine, &Quit
GV, Quit
digikam, &Quit
xdvik, Quit
xditview, Quit
