FYI the shared component in this case is the shell (usually /usr/bin/bash or similar) which is run by these terminal programs. Processes started by a shell are (typically) terminated when that shell exits. That is by design. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to gnome-terminal in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/819842 Title: Commands in the background are terminated after closing the terminal Status in “gnome-terminal” package in Ubuntu: Invalid Bug description: I'm using Ubuntu 11.10 dev and if I open an application in the terminal (for example "git gui &" and "scite &") I get the output "[1] 12619" (dependend on the job and pid) and can continue using the terminal. The problem is if I close the terminal the application is terminated too. I tested this with gnome-terminal 3.0.1-0ubuntu3 and lxterminal 0.1.11-0ubuntu1.
