Comment 2 for bug 1093713

Hello Vincent,

I don't know if this is the proper forum for having this discussion, if not please point to the correct one.

1) Yes, I'm aware of Ctrl+C and what its interaction with the terminal entails.

2) I routinely launch gui apps from the terminal, and I expect that once the app is launched, that control is transferred to it from the terminal, which in all my years of using linux (close to 11 now), it does. If said app does not support some combination of keyboard shortcuts, or doesn't even have a keyboard interrupt handler, then I expect *nothing* to happen when I use the keyboard, as is my experience with all gui apps I have used in such a manner. For mintwelcome to respond to mouse input on one hand and for it to pass through control to the launching agent on keyboard input on the other hand is quite surprising, and counter-intuitive imho.

If mintwelcome is in focus, then I expect that *none* of my input should be passed through to the launching terminal, regardless of whether the app in focus can handle the input or not. So I have to humbly disagree that is is the correct behavior when the mintwelcome gui is in focus. It sure isn't the way a whole string of other gui apps I have launched from the terminal work.

3) Thanks for the "inxi -S" tip. May be the following text on "Report a bug page" should replaced with your suggestion:
