In linux, processes usually can't wade across whole system... You have to instruct them in advance. To kill father process (xterm) without loosing forked ones they (sons) should have started with nohup. Another option to take in consideration is screen, again you have to start it at first, and then start longer processes inside it. > there's also the possibility of going to another raw console > with 'control-alt-F2' & doing what you want outside X there, > then returning with 'control-alt-F7'. Not without leaving X running...
