Re: applications quit with gnome-terminal

The behaviour that you are describing is normal and is *good* as you
say, if you don't want the application to die when you close
gnome-terminal, or any other terminal, you do:

$ nohup run-this-application 2>/dev/null &


Actually, I should say process instead of application.


I tried the 'xterm' behaviour you say, and I confirm it, but I don't
know why is that.
