I keep a fairly close eye on my running processes in GNOME's System Monitor and since I upgraded to GNOME 2.22, I noticed that when I close a tab within gnome-terminal-2.22.1 (aswell as 2.22.0), gnome-terminal doesn't kill the bash process, nor it's child processes. Typing the command 'exit' into the terminal closes the tab and kills the bash process as you'd expect. When you do a lot in the terminal (as most of us happy Gentoo users do), these idle bash processes do tend to build up until you close GNOME terminal (and they are all killed with the closing of the program). Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Open up System Monitor's 'Processes' tab and make sure 'Dependencies' is enabled (Ctrl+D) 2. Open GNOME Terminal & Open up a new tab (Ctrl+Shift+T) 3. Note the two bash processes running under gnome-terminal 4. Close one of the tabs within GNOME Terminal 5. Look back at the process list and note that there are still two bash processes running. Actual Results: Bash processes aren't killed like they should be when tabs are closed. emerge --info Portage 2.1.4.4 (default/linux/x86/2008.0/desktop, gcc-4.1.2, glibc-2.6.1-r0, 2.6.24-gentoo-r4 i686) ================================================================= System uname: 2.6.24-gentoo-r4 i686 AMD Athlon(tm) 64 X2 Dual Core Processor 3800+ Timestamp of tree: Thu, 01 May 2008 16:15:03 +0000 app-shells/bash: 3.2_p17-r1 dev-java/java-config: 1.3.7, 2.1.4 dev-lang/python: 2.4.4-r9 dev-python/pycrypto: 2.0.1-r6 sys-apps/baselayout: 2.0.0 sys-apps/openrc: 0.2.2 sys-apps/sandbox: 1.2.18.1-r2 sys-devel/autoconf: 2.13, 2.61-r1 sys-devel/automake: 1.5, 1.7.9-r1, 1.8.5-r3, 1.9.6-r2, 1.10.1 sys-devel/binutils: 2.18-r1 sys-devel/gcc-config: 1.4.0-r4 sys-devel/libtool: 1.5.26 virtual/os-headers: 2.6.23-r3 ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="x86" CBUILD="i686-pc-linux-gnu" CFLAGS="-march=i686 -O2 -pipe -ggdb" CHOST="i686-pc-linux-gnu" CONFIG_PROTECT="/etc /usr/kde/3.5/env /usr/kde/3.5/share/config /usr/kde/3.5/shutdown /usr/kde/4.0/env /usr/kde/4.0/share/config /usr/kde/4.0/shutdown /usr/share/config" CONFIG_PROTECT_MASK="/etc/env.d /etc/env.d/java/ /etc/fonts/fonts.conf /etc/gconf /etc/gentoo-release /etc/revdep-rebuild /etc/terminfo /etc/udev/rules.d" CXXFLAGS="-march=i686 -O2 -pipe -ggdb" DISTDIR="/usr/portage/distfiles" FEATURES="distlocks metadata-transfer sandbox sfperms splitdebug strict unmerge-orphans userfetch" GENTOO_MIRRORS="http://distfiles.gentoo.org http://distro.ibiblio.org/pub/linux/distributions/gentoo" LANG="en_GB.UTF-8" LINGUAS="en_GB" MAKEOPTS="-j3" PKGDIR="/usr/portage/packages" PORTAGE_RSYNC_OPTS="--recursive --links --safe-links --perms --times --compress --force --whole-file --delete --stats --timeout=180 --exclude=/distfiles --exclude=/local --exclude=/packages" PORTAGE_TMPDIR="/var/tmp" PORTDIR="/usr/portage" SYNC="rsync://rsync.europe.gentoo.org/gentoo-portage" USE="X a52 aac acl acpi alsa avahi avi bitmap-fonts bluetooth branding bzip2 cairo cdr cli cracklib crypt cups dbus dlloader dri dvb dvd dvdnav dvdr dvdread eds emboss encode esd evo exif fam ffmpeg firefox flac fortran gdbm gif glitz gnome gpm gstreamer gtk hal iconv id3tag ieee1394 ipv6 isdnlog jack java jpeg kde kerberos ldap libg++ libnotify mad md5 midi mikmod mime mmx mp3 mp4 mpeg mplayer msn mudflap nautilus ncurses nls nptl nptlonly nsplugin ntfs nvidia ogg opengl openmp pam pcre pdf perl png portage ppds pppd python qt3 qt3support qt4 quicktime rar readline real reflection samba sdl session shorten sndfile sox spell spl ssl startup-notification subversion svg symlink tcl tcpd threads tiff tk truetype truetype-fonts type1-fonts udev unicode usb vorbis win32codecs x86 xcomposite xine xml xorg xscreensaver xulrunner xv xvmc zlib" ALSA_CARDS="ali5451 als4000 atiixp atiixp-modem bt87x ca0106 cmipci emu10k1 emu10k1x ens1370 ens1371 es1938 es1968 fm801 hda-intel intel8x0 intel8x0m maestro3 trident usb-audio via82xx via82xx-modem ymfpci" ALSA_PCM_PLUGINS="adpcm alaw asym copy dmix dshare dsnoop empty extplug file hooks iec958 ioplug ladspa lfloat linear meter mulaw multi null plug rate route share shm softvol" APACHE2_MODULES="actions alias auth_basic authn_alias authn_anon authn_dbm authn_default authn_file authz_dbm authz_default authz_groupfile authz_host authz_owner authz_user autoindex cache dav dav_fs dav_lock deflate dir disk_cache env expires ext_filter file_cache filter headers include info log_config logio mem_cache mime mime_magic negotiation rewrite setenvif speling status unique_id userdir usertrack vhost_alias" ELIBC="glibc" INPUT_DEVICES="keyboard mouse" KERNEL="linux" LCD_DEVICES="bayrad cfontz cfontz633 glk hd44780 lb216 lcdm001 mtxorb ncurses text" LINGUAS="en_GB" USERLAND="GNU" VIDEO_CARDS="nvidia" Unset: CPPFLAGS, CTARGET, EMERGE_DEFAULT_OPTS, INSTALL_MASK, LC_ALL, LDFLAGS, PORTAGE_COMPRESS, PORTAGE_COMPRESS_FLAGS, PORTAGE_RSYNC_EXTRA_OPTS, PORTDIR_OVERLAY
Same bug here
indeed, doesn't happen if you type exit or hit ctrl+d in the term. Please report this upstream.
And please add gnome@gentoo.org as a CC on that bug so that we can keep track of it. Thanks
It was already reported by other but seems not too active :-(

I've added gnome@gentoo.org and myself to the CC list for the bug on GNOME's bugzilla.
I am on x11-terms/gnome-terminal-2.22.3 and have not encountered this bug. I would guess it is fixed then.
Yep, x11-terms/gnome-terminal-2.22.3 appears to have fixed it for me too :)!
How exactly are you guys trying to reproduce this? Because I still get this error with 2.22.3.
Oh, I apologise. I've got used to pressing Ctrl+D to close tabs and I suppose I wasn't thinking when seeing whether the bug was still there. When I close the tab with the mouse or Shift+Ctrl+W, the bug is reproduced like normal.

Right you are then. The bug only affects tabs gnome-terminal. So, if a new tab is opened and when that tab is closed, the process is not killed. Could you try this out and test this.
(In reply to comment #14) > Right you are then. The bug only affects tabs gnome-terminal. So, if a new tab > is opened and when that tab is closed, the process is not killed. > Could you try this out and test this. Yep, the problem seems to occur only with closing tabs, not terminals. But if you've got a terminal open with 2 tabs, and you close one tab, then close the terminal, the bash process from the first tab you closed will continue to exist.
I doubt upstream will work on a patch given the large changes in 2.23, however it shouldn't be to hard to bisect between 2.20 branch and 2.22 to find out what broke this.
Created attachment 161951 [details, diff] Patch to fix killing of shell when tab is closed Here's a slightly modified version of the patch posted upstream. Seems to work. @herd: is this okay to commit, or should we just wait for 2.24? I vote to commit, since having a lot of stray bash processes hanging around is no fun. :)
No way we want to wait 2.24, you can add this in a r1 when you get a decent net connection or I'll do it asap. Thanks for doing the investigation work with bheekling.

commited in r1, thanks again guys.
