Pan's main window... as opposed to the compose article window, or the 
tasks monitor window, or the log window, or the pan preferences or server 
settings dialog windows...

And that main pan window should be in focus -- the one your keyboard 
input is going to.  If some other window, perhaps the desktop root window 
itself, or a window from some other app, or one of the other pan windows 
mentioned above, has the focus, of course pan won't toggle quote-muting 
when you hit "q", because that "q" will be sent to that other window and 
it'll process it, instead of the key being processed by the pan main 
window.

IOW, hitting "q" in the pan compose window won't do it, because then 
it'll simply add a "q" to the message in the compose window.  Similarly 
for other windows, they'd process it instead of the pan main window, and 
do whatever they do with a "q".
