Public bug reported:

I'm using the terminal from Applications -> Accessories -> Terminal that
comes with Ubuntu 7.10

After typing "<application_name> &" into the terminal and closing the
terminal, I was expecting the terminal to close but the application to
continue running.

What happened when i closed the terminal was that the application closed
as well when it should have been running.

I have tried running applications like xload, glxgears glchess in the 
background by using the & sign.
eg: glchess &

but the applications still terminated.
