Yeah, to me it sounds like these problematic processes should say "kill me when the session ends", rather than others having to opt-out. If the processes are killed by default, won't other applications start to rely on it and users who change the default will have more and more applications running after logout? -- Miroslav Lichvar -- devel mailing list devel@lists.fedoraproject.org https://lists.fedoraproject.org/admin/lists/devel@lists.fedoraproject.org
