Hello, I am trying out the application launcher in gnome. If I create an application launcher that starts with a wget command (while /not/ using the "-b" option), it starts off okay: the gnome-terminal opens and wget starts working.
However, if I close that gnome terminal, wget appears to continue downloading running in the background. Isn't wget supposed to close when the terminal window is closed? I then tried the same thing in KDE where konsole opens. In this case though closing the konsole also quits wget. So this works okay. So on the surface it appears to be a problem in Gnome ... or a feature. I have posted this on Ubuntu list as well when I tried this yesterday on a Ubuntu machine. But the responses have not been, well, satisfactory. I then tried this on my Debian machine hoping it would be different (perhaps it was a bug); no luck. Searching google also did not give much information regarding this backgrounding of wget in a launcher. Any tips how this can be explained or where the problem is? Thanks. -- Please reply to this list only. I read this list on its corresponding newsgroup on gmane.org.
