You can only close gnome-sudoku with CTRL+C if you are root.
Comment 2 Michael Catanzaro 2013-11-08 03:55:56 UTC 
It's because Python catches SIGINT and translates it into a Python exception named KeyboardInterrupt, and somewhere we are ignoring all exceptions. I took a quick look but didn't find where. Why being root affects this is quite a mystery.

Quick hack incoming because the Python version is (admittedly very slowly) approaching the end of its life; anyone who finds the real problem should feel free to revert it.
