cannot exit boincmgr by the tray icon

[toralf]

If I right-click under Gentoo Linux at the tray icon (KDE) and select "Exit" - then boincmgr doesn't really exits. The manager is still running.

It does only works, if I select the menu item of the manager widnow itself. Here the program really finishes.

I can reproduce this, running BOINC 7.0.27 on Debian Wheezy with KDE 4.8.4. It only happens when quitting the manager from the tray icon, not when using the File menu.

The window disappears. The tray icon seems to disappear, but in fact there's still an invisible (fully transparent) square taking up space in the tray, noticeable if I open another app with a tray icon. Opening the manager again shows a message box saying it's already running, and telling me to give a hostname and password to connect to a different client. This seems pretty confusing for end users.

The boincmgr process remains running, using no CPU. Attaching with gdb shows it's simply running the wxGTK event loop but not receiving any events (so the event-waiting function doesn't return).
