Thanks for letting me know I'm not the only one. 

Also been launching VLC from a terminal lately and sometimes it also
doesn't terminate cleanly that way. I close the VLC window, it
disappears from system panel, but in the terminal window the prompt is
not returned. Ctrl-c returns the prompt and VLC doesn't show up anymore
in system monitor.
