Public bug reported:

This is not the same issue where close (clicking the x or doing ALT-F4)
doesn't exit.  This is where exit appears to exit, but doesn't.

Last night I tried to start boincmgr, and it claimed another instance
was already attached.  But, I was sure I had used "Exit BOINC Manager"
previously, and there was no systray icon or minimized window on the
desktop.

But, doing ps, I saw there was a boincmgr process still running from a
few days ago.  So I killed it and started boincmgr.

Later I did a "File Menu"->"Exit BOINC Manager"...and the systray icon
went away as expected.

But, later I tried to start boincmgr again, and it reported the same
message as before.  And, ps confirmed that the previous boincmgr process
was still running.

I tried it a few more times last night, and confirmed that while desktop
indication was that it had exited, the process remained and had to be
killed.  So that I could use boincmgr again.
