[Too Late <819842@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I have Ubuntu 10.04 (should be up-to-date) and this is what happens with
gnome-terminal:

1. gedit
2. Close terminal with the close button on the title bar (or close the corresponding tab).
-> A dialog opens saying "Close this terminal? There is still a process running in this terminal. Closing the terminal will kill it." Both "Cancel" and "Close Terminal" buttons work as expected.

1. gedit &
2. exit
-> Terminal (or the corresponding tab) closes but gedit keeps running.

1. gedit &
2. Close terminal with the close button on the title bar (or close the corresponding tab).
-> Both terminal and gedit die without any warning or question. Any unsaved data will be lost.

I used gedit as an example, but it seems that same things happen with
other programs, too (I tested with e.g. emacs, firefox, kile and xdvi).

Title:
  Commands in the background are terminated after closing the terminal

Status in “gnome-terminal” package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  I'm using Ubuntu 11.10 dev and if I open an application in the
  terminal (for example "git gui &" and "scite &") I get the output "[1]
  12619" (dependend on the job and pid) and can continue using the
  terminal. The problem is if I close the terminal the application is
  terminated too. I tested this with gnome-terminal 3.0.1-0ubuntu3 and
  lxterminal 0.1.11-0ubuntu1.
