Subsequent launches forks from the same process which causes grouping to stretch across all instances

[Geoff Scott]

On previous ubuntu versions, every launch of a terminator instance creates a new process. 17.10 appears to not do so. As a result, if I attempt to "group"the internal terminals within a terminator window, it instead groups every instance of every terminator window that has been opened. This not only makes the grouping functionality in terminator completely useless, it is extremely hazardous as users will be unknowingly typing commands in other unintended terminals.

Known issue/limitation. You can easily disable this by turning off the DBus, or you can change your launcher command to use the "-u" flag.

Perhaps there's some way that could be the default action, or at least some sort of notification could be given upon install? People used to terminator on ubuntu could run into some bad issues with this. I was using terminator for hours after upgrading to 17.10 not realizing I was editing and saving files on dozens of servers that were open in other workspaces.
