Darktable relies on the window manager to display a close button on the window
decorations (the
little cross button). What window manager are you using? You could try Ctrl-q
on the keyboard, or
google tells me that Alt-F4 is the close window keyboard shortcut for xfce.

That's the way that darktable works. The basic idea is that you maintain a
library of your images,
and then you can search through this using the collect module in the top left.

If you don't want any state to be remembered by darktable, and have it open
freshly each time, you
can start it with something like the following shell script. Note that this
throws away everything
you do, including all your image edits. These are normally stored in two
places: the .xmp file for
each image, saved next to the raw file, and the database. So remove the
write_sidecar_files=FALSE
switch if you want to save the xmp files, for example, or the --configdir if
you want to store your
configuration, etc.
#!/bin/bash
# LevedevRI's startup file for darktable-dev
rm -Rf /tmp/darktable_tmp
mkdir -p /tmp/darktable_tmp
darktable --library /tmp/darktable_tmp/library.db \
--configdir /tmp/darktable_tmp --cachedir /tmp/darktable_tmp \
--tmpdir /tmp/darktable_tmp --conf write_sidecar_files=FALSE $*
