           Summary: xfce4-session doesn't care about it's child processes
                    but makes them zombies
        QA Contact: bjt23 at cornell.edu
          Severity: normal
    Classification: Xfce
                OS: Linux
          Reporter: frankyxfce at trash-mail.com
          Hardware: PC (x86)
            Status: NEW
           Version: 4.10.0
         Component: General
           Product: Xfce4-session

I use xdm to log into my xfce session (default session, Xfce 4.10, Debian
unstable) and use $HOME/.xsessionrc to start some applications. If I exit/kill
those applications after xfce startup, they remain as zombie processes, which
wasn't the case with Xfce 4.8.

example in my .xsessionrc: command: unclutter &
part of pstree: before and after killing unclutter:
     ├─xdm─┬─Xorg───2*[{Xorg}]
     │     └─xdm───x-session-manag─┬─Xsession
     │                             └─unclutter

ps x after killing unclutter:
13426 ?        Z      0:00 [unclutter] <defunct>

Thanks,
Franky
