In fact any dialog created via the Global Main Menu when closed will hang Viking.

I believe this to be a fault of the Unity Desktop.
I have raised the bug here: https://bugs.launchpad.net/unity-gtk-module/+bug/1258669

Running Viking under another Desktop such as LXDE (lubuntu-desktop), solves the issue as the program operates correctly.

There are workarounds to avoid using the Global Menu, so from the command line run it like this:

env UBUNTU_MENUPROXY= viking

or amend the exec statement similiarly in the file /usr/share/applications/viking.desktop to read:
Exec=env UBUNTU_MENUPROXY= viking %F

The latter will fix running Viking via desktop icons.
