I can reproduce this. Originally experiences on Lucid (maybe earlier);
currently on Maverick.
To reproduce:
1. gdebi-gtk foo.deb (I was using opera_10.70.9053_i386.deb)
(NOT TESTED: "sudo gdebi-gtk foo.deb". When I've experienced this it was in
a non-sudo run, where (I believe this is how it works) gdebi-gtk exec'd
itself
under gksu when I told it to do something that affected the system. I
suspect
this loopback exec may have something to do with the failure to exit.)
2. Click the [Install Package] or [Reinstall Package] button
3. Satisfy the request for your password
4. When install is finished, close the terminal/installer window
(NOT TESTED: probably the same if you previously clicked the "Automatically
close after the changes have been successfully applied" button) ^U
(went back and tested that, it behaves the same, as long as you meet the
timing dependency in #5)
5. (TIMING DEPENDENT) when the install completes and while you are closing
the terminal/installer window, the main gdebi-gtk window is refreshing its
state
information (you see a progress bar at the bottom of that window). CLOSE
THE
PARENT WINDOW WITH ITS GUI CLOSE BOX during this refresh period.
Note: you cannot close it with its own file -> close menu, as that is not
responsive during the state refresh.
6. The shell prompt from which you ran `gdebi-gtk ...` does not return.
Depending
on exactly when you closed it, you may see a message like:
/usr/lib/python2.6/dist-packages/GDebi/GDebi.py:275: GtkWarning:
/build/buildd/gtk+2.0-2.22.0/gtk/gtkwidget.c:5684: widget not within a GtkWindow
self.button_install.grab_default()
after a while; or no message at all.
7. `ps` evidence shows:

=================
Note: it occurs to me that this is not strictly a repro of jeremy-list's
issue. `xkill` would not have come into play in my situation since the
X window was already gone. This is more strictly a repro of jknvv13's
LP #591328. I hesitated to tag this onto that bug as it didn't
specifically mention the GTK edition `gdebi-gtk`.
However I suspect these to be the same underlying issue and will both be
fixed by the same fix.
