Bug Description
Binary package hint: nautilus
Open nautilus in a terminal as root (sudo nautilus) then close out of nautilus. The terminal does not return to its normal state as expected, it acts as if nautilus is still running. This makes it impossible to do anything else in that terminal, you must close it and open a new one.

you can ctrl+c to finish that process, nautilus as sudo is always bad anyways, they're are working in another way to have superuser mode there which includes the policykit integration, i'm marking this bug as duplicate of bug 12154 which is the one tracking the better way to deal with such issues.
