No. It's sort-of default behavior, a bit simliar to how terminal apps get zapped by SIGHUP when the terminal closes. But it isn't enforced at all, apps can keep running when the X or wayland connection goes away, either just a short moment (firefox saving open tabs to disk, then exit) or even longer in case they are running some kind of batch job which they can finish without user interaction. Or they keep on trying to read from the closed connection due to some stupid bug ... cheers, Gerd -- devel mailing list devel@lists.fedoraproject.org https://lists.fedoraproject.org/admin/lists/devel@lists.fedoraproject.org
