Version: 0.5.1-1
Severity: important
So I wanted to try alternative display managers, and I gave LXDM a
try. To my surprise, it does this in /etc/lxdm/PostLogout:
# Kills all your processes when you log out.
ps --user $USER | awk 'NR > 1 {print $1}' | xargs -t kill
This is… wrong. It kills my running fetchmail process, kills all
processes I launched in a screen session exactly in order to survive
logout, etc.
Why does LXDM by default do this? It should be at least a)
configurable, and b) not the default.
