Yes, I'm quite curious myself to figure out what is causing this.

The next time you close rhythmbox and the restart happens, can you run
this?

        cat /proc/$(pidof rhythmbox)/environ
        
Maybe it can give a clue as to what is starting rhythmbox again. Be sure
to scan the output for any personal information before you mail it.
