[Bug 1238669] [NEW] Exiting BOINC Manager Closes Boinc core client

[Jonathan Brier]

Public bug reported:

If the BOINC Manager GUI is opened it remains open or minimized to the
unity dash (not sure about other dash's) if the window's x close button
is used.  This periodically will reopen depending on actions taken by
other windows.  The only way to permanently close the BOING Manager GUI
and remove it from the dock is to use the File > exit command.  This
inadvertently closed BOINC Core Client as well.

This behavior is inconsistent with the Windows and Mac platform behavior
which initially asks if you want to just close BOINC manager or opt-in
to closing the core client that one time or remember to close the core
client every time.

Expected behavior of the window's x button and the file > exit commands
would be to only close the BOINC Manager GUI and ask if the user would
like to close the BOINC-Core Client and have a checkbox to remember that
choice.  Else if not selecting the close of both the BOINC Manager and
BOINC Client that only the BOINC Manager GUI be closed and leave the
BOINC Core Client operating.
