I can't replicate this behaviour.
Could you close Geeqie and open $HOME/.config/geeqie/geeqierc.xml in an editor.
Ensure that at the end of the file there is only one layout section, and that it has the id "main".
Then try again.

[rewolff]

I don't know what I did, but...
Now I can control-W windows away and that geeqie only exits when it's the last one to be closed. "As documented".
New problem: I lost my "file list". I like the file list in a separate window, With rightclick in the image window I have "hide file list" back and forth but nothing happens: FIle list stays hidden.

And then when I switch virtual desktops to go back to where i have geeqie... There it is again! (The file list).

Very annoying this type of problem that comes and goes without any control of when it happens or not....
