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"

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.
