Hi all ;),

I'm facing a problem with xterm processes that still exists even if X has
been terminated. If the Xterm is launched from the console or from xinitrc,
when X are interrupted, the xterm process also finishes. But if i launch
the xterm process from the window manager (i'm using pawm wm), the process
becomes a child of pawm. Then when the window manager is finished with an
TERM signal, the xterm process becomes orphan and is reparented by init, just
like any other process launched by pawm. The difference is that, while all
processes die when the X connection dies, the xterm process is still running.

Ask me for more info if you need it.

Thanks a lot ;)
