This might be a sound problem. When you hit the close button the system
attempts to play a sound and if my memory serves me right then there are
still a few problems with sound on Unix machines. Try the following: Go into
the preferences (world menu, help, preferences) and turn off the
"soundsEnabled" preference (in the media section). Then try your example
again and see if it's still getting unresponsive.

It's dead in the water ;-) No, seriously, the objects tool has superseeded
the old menu (since there were plenty of Morphs that didn't really like
being opened that way and the objects tool requires a one liner to declare
that "it's okay to get this guy"). But you can actually get it back by
turning on the "classicNewMorph" preference (in the "morphic" section of
preferences).
