I've found that the problem still exists only if you close xbmc in windowed mode from the "x" button in the upper right. If i close via pressing "s" and selecting "EXIT XBMC" then both xbmc and xbmc.bin processes shut down properly - or at least I can't see them listed in System Monitor - Processes (n00bsk1llz)

Ubuntu 12.04 LTS - 32bit
Acer Aspire Revo R3610
Intel Atom 330
4GB RAM (Shared)
NVIDIA Ion HDMI
Boxee Remote

I'll give that a try, thanks.
If it doesn't work I had an idea to run a cronjob that issues a "killall xbmc" command (or similar) at midnight. My HTPC has MythTV configured to run a script to check if it's idle (which involves checking for xbmc processes) and if idle, shutdown. This pesky xbmc.bin stops that script from working and my HTPC often stays on overnight as a result because I forget to "kill -9" it manually.
