Front panel remains after terminating lavbiew application

I have created an application from a LabView VI.  I'm launching the application from LabWindows.  I'm monitoring for the application to terminate.  However, when I terminate the LabVeiw application, the LabView front panel is displayed and the LabWindows application terminated function doesn't see it as terminated until I close the front panel.  Why is the VI front panel being displayed when the application is terminated.  I have the program to run in dialog center screen.  Once the application terminates, the dialog disappears and the LV front panel appears.
