I tried what I thought would be a variation on it, which was to set gnome-terminal not to close when the shell exits. I didn't see anything for a while, then just a couple days ago I had a shell just go dead on me, as if I had exited it. I believe I backgrounded something just before that, but I'm not sure. No message in the terminal, nothing in .xsession-errors or Xorg.0.log. There was an emacs and another GUI program (grace) running in the background. I'm not sure if they were still running. I figured I just typed control-D accidentally, so I just closed the gnome-terminal window. As soon as I did that, both of the children (emacs and grace) died with it (If I had expected this I would have checked the other windows out first...)! So I'm guessing that this was the same phenomenon, and it's looking shell related. Maybe the "set -b"? I associated it with emacs probably because 90% of the times I background something it is emacs.
