  output of "pstree"
   ├─terminator─┬─bash─┬─pstree
       │            │      └─terminator─┬─bash
       │            │                   ├─terminator
       │            │                   └─{terminator}
       │            ├─bash───ssh

       ├─terminator─┬─bash
       │            ├─terminator
       │            └─{terminator}

  if i read the output from "pstree" correctly, terminator is always
  starting two instances and one of them is a zombie

  
  i cant find any disadvantages in the usage right know but i dont think this 
should be normal to have a zombie-process
