Some programs take special measures for this; most do not. You should
not expect any process started from a specific shell to survive after
you exit that shell. If you want to start an arbitrary program, use
the run dialog (ALT-F2) – this is what it's for.

Not init (exit from the desktop session and see that the program in
question is closed).
