Severity: normal

Hello!

*startx* script ignores many signals, SIGTERM in particular; it causes
problems with process supervision.

Please consider applying following patch, which fulfil intended purpose
of ``trap`` statement, keeping process resposible to signals. 

PS. Just curious, under what circumstances would a /bin/sh receive a SIGILL?
