The problem is that non-foreground apps are SIGSTOPed, meaning that they
won't find out about unity8 dying until such time that they get resumed
again. Which will not happen if it crashed... So yeah, they still do get
orphaned.
I'm thinking that the whole session should be brought down and
restarted, which would cause upstart to SIGKILL all the suspended apps.
Otherwise we'd need to try and tell upstart to kill them one by one...
but we're in the process of crashing, so it's not like this would ever
be reliable, would it?
