Installed and using SETI@HOME with the Boinc Manager v7.2.42 (x64) using Ubuntu 14.04 LTS, Trusty Thar, Kernal 3.13.0.71, widget ver 2.8.12

Firstly, IF this is the wrong forum let me know and I will move to correct forum.

My system
HP Pavilion g7 - 2269wm

since 20140730-22:58 ~ Ubuntu 14.04.3 LTS Trusty Tahr
Kernal 3.13.0.71-generic x86_64 ext4
Seti ComputerID: 7841549
BOINC UserID: 43551

Most of the time the BOINC Manager runs quietly with SETI in the background. On occasion I may need to invoke the BOINC Manager to suspend the process, say because I'm doing other cpu intensive work like editing audio and/or video. Afterwards I will resume SETI using the BOINC Manager After using the Boinc Manager I can click on the close or minimize button and the window seems to close.

The problem;
On closing the last other than BOINC windows on my desktop; BOINC Manager window will pop up by itself. In most cases I do not want to see the manager again until something happens that requires my attention.

Is this SOP ? Boinc Manager window opening without being invoked.
Is this an undocumented feature ?
Is there a cure for this ?

I have found that IF I re-boot the problem ceases until I invoke BOINC Manager again. I do not think that I should have to re-boot every time I use the BOINC Manager.

IF you need any other info let me know.

Your assistance will be appreciated,
Mike Bonewits
