Behaviour of exiting children is broken

[Chris Jones]

When a child shell exits, it should either restart or cause the terminal it lives in to be removed from the heirarchy. Currently it simply leaves a useless terminal that can never be saved.

Fixed in revision 91. This now entirely follows gnome-terminal behaviour. Terminals will either close themselves (thus removing them from the heirarchy) or respawn their child.

Setting this back to In Progress because I think the "Are you sure you want to close this terminal?" question is unnecessary and should probably go away, at least in some situations.

I think it is important. We alway press exit to close the terminal.

[Chris Jones (cmsj)]

How do you mean?

For reference - I absolutely do not want to remove the question you get when you try to close the whole window, I just think that the question shouldn't be asked for individual terminals.

My justification for this is mostly that gnome-terminal doesn't ask if it should exit or not when you have a single terminal open. You either typed "exit" or closed its window. The same applies to a terminal in Terminator.

I created a branch which tries to mimic the behavior of gnome-terminal as good as possible. I removed the confirmation-dialogs when closing a single VTE (as gnome-terminal doesn't show it either). The key-combo was changed to ctrl-shift-w. The confirmation-dialog when closing the main window has been enhanced a little too.

The branch is located at https://code.launchpad.net/~blackskad/terminator/mimic-terminator

I've merged this branch into trunk. ^W makes much more sense, but for kicks I've put ^Q in as well as a shortcut for exiting Terminator. Thanks Thomas!

Fixed in 0.7
