Bug Description
Using "terminator" always producing a zombie-process for each instant i start
terminator&
[1] 5239
ps aux | grep terminator

top
Tasks: 136 total, 2 running, 131 sleeping, 0 stopped, 1 zombie
output of "pstree"

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
