this persistent problem that I haven't been able to solve with 
Google searching. I frequently test out my code as I write it and 
every time I start it up a new gdb process will start running but 
not terminate at the end of the program. Even a nothing program 
like the following will start up a new gdb process that won't 
terminate:

int main( string[] args ){
     return 0;
}

After testing out an application a few times I have to open my 
process manager and clear out one gdb for every time I ran the 
program. I'm using Linux Mint 17 x64.

Does anyone know how I can configure gdb to exit when a program 
has exited successfully?

a) you can try using this addin Gdb.D instead 
-https://github.com/llucenic/MonoDevelop.Debugger.Gdb.D
it might be also be in the monodevelop beta repos.

b) you can "fix"/work around the issue by replacing 
"Syscall.kill" in the source 
(https://github.com/mono/monodevelop/blob/master/main/src/addins/MonoDevelop.Debugger.Gdb/GdbSession.cs)
with "proc.Kill()"
similarly as what was done in the Gdb.D source 
(https://github.com/llucenic/MonoDevelop.Debugger.Gdb.D/blob/master/Gdb/GdbSession.cs)
then recompile and use.
