I was not able to reproduce it now, neither with the Spotify window open or closed (with music playing). Which version of Spotify do you have? Is it set up with apt-repository (line "deb http://repository.spotify.com stable non-free")? What is the output of:
"apt-cache policy spotify-client" -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to gnome-session in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/943607 Title: Application (Spotify) can prevent shutdown. Status in “gnome-session” package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Bug description: When clicking on "shut down" while having an open window with the Spotify app Ubuntu will only close Spotify's open window. I have to click once more to actually shut down the rest of the computer. This is only a minor nuisance to me, but a malevolent program could probably use this property to prevent an soft shutdown by repeatedly spawning new windows, then it would be a problem on remotely managed systems. Most of all, it just worries me that a user application can hijack something like the system's ability to shut down. Makes you wonder what else it could do if the developer wanted it to.
