Rev standalone app stays in memory on my Xubuntu 9.10

Hello Len,

Thank you for responding to my question.

I hope I am a little better than an average computer user, but I have a
very long way to go before qualifying to be a geek. Could you explain
what it means to have an open socket in the program? 

I am a mere teacher, and my program is a simple app to keep students
record according to their class. All data is saved locally inside data
stacks. There is no network connection or connection to external
database. Before quitting, all open stacks are closed. 

My program works (i.e. quits cleanly) on other computers running Xubuntu
9.10, Mac OS X or Windows. The anomaly occurs only on my laptop running
Xubuntu 9.10. I would think that my coding in Revolution must be ok, but
something is not right on my laptop, on which my app fails to quit
cleanly. However, oddly, on the same laptop, another app I made quits
cleanly. 

Can you suggest what I should change on my laptop?
