From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (compatible; Konqueror/3; Linux) Description of problem: When an application, say xemacs, is launched from within a konsole or an xterm, that application is terminated when the user terminates the konsole or xterm by clicking on the close window button. The application is NOT terminated when the user types 'exit' from within the konsole/xterm that was used to launch the application. This behavior exists in both the kde version supplied by redhat as well as a kde 3.0.2 I built on limbo. Although, the latter has some more unpleasant consequences, i.e., if the user launches konqueror from a konsole, kills the konsole by clicking the close window button, again, both konsole and konqueror terminate, but now a mutex is not released and the user can no longer run (at least) konqueror, kspread, and kword. Hopefully, the user saved their work. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. launch konsole or xterm 2. enter the following command 'xemacs &' 3. kill the konsole by clicking the 'close' window button. 4. that konsole and emacs will both terminate Expected Results: the konsole should terminate. my xemacs session should not. Additional info:
hmm, normal behaviour, if a shell gets a SIGHUP... though konsole should warn about running apps...
This is not normal behaviour in Red Hat 7.3. Further, this does not happen in limbo if you su - to another user, then launch the application, and then kill the console.
Oops, I guess this is normal shell behaviour with bash. tcsh behaves differently. Sorry. Not a bug?
