Comment 7 for bug 819842

Hi Sworddragon,

Thanks for testing this!

Could you confirm whether this happens in other programs? I tested mainly using gedit and gitg and I am able to leave them running even after the terminal closes. This is using lxterminal and gnome-terminal.

git gui invokes, I think, gitk, which is written using the tcl/tk toolkit, so maybe the problem doesn't happen anymore for gtk applications such as gedit, but does for tk applications. This test will help confirm that and decide what to do about this.

Thanks again!
