Update:

I switched back from "Show the menus for a window - in the window's
title bar" to "-in the menu bar" and have not had an issue since with
not being able to close a window using the "X" button.    I suspect it's
a bug related to that change.

I will provide an update if I run accross this issue again, but so far
so good for now.

Title:
  Occasionally applications will not close using “X” on upper left of
  window.

Status in “unity” package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  I'm using Ubuntu 14.04 64bit on a Dell Latitude Laptop with an Intel
  Core i5 and 4G RAM installed.

  Description:	Ubuntu 14.04 LTS
  Release:	14.04

  unity:
    Installed: 7.2.0+14.04.20140416-0ubuntu1
    Candidate: 7.2.0+14.04.20140416-0ubuntu1
    Version table:
   *** 7.2.0+14.04.20140416-0ubuntu1 0
          500 http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ trusty/main amd64 Packages
          100 /var/lib/dpkg/status

  Seemingly randomly I will not be able to close an application using
  the "X" button of the upper left of the screen.  Sometimes it requires
  multiple clicks, but usually when this happens I have to right click
  the application icon on the quick launcher and select "quit" to close
  the window.  This has occurred on multiple applications "firefox",
  "nautilus", "pithos", and "software center" are the most recent that I
  can remember for example, and I am assuming this is an issue with
  Unity on my system.

  I expect windows to always close within a short amount of time after
  clicking the "X".

  Other possible Unity related oddities which are occurring on my system
  which may be related to this issue...

      "Control-Alt-T" will sometimes not open a terminal, I might have
  to press the combination 4 or 5 times to get terminal to open.

       "Pithos" music player will not display icon in notification area
  on the top bar (although it behaves as if it did, i.e. will continue
  playing after closing the main window when "show nofication area icon"
  option is selected).  I have also submitted this particular bug to the
  Pithos development team.

  These are all new issues that I did not have when using Ubuntu 12.04.
  I am being sufficiently patient with allowing plenty of time (several
  seconds) for applications to close before clicking anything else
  again.
