Hi,
Attached patch keeps servers spawned by oafd in the oafd process
group.
Basically what this gives you is a slightly-less-broken equivalent of
oaf-slay, "killall -g oafd"
The motivation for this is more or less that OAF is broken
lifecycle-wise and my short-term plan is to killall -g oafd on logout.
;-)
Discussed the real fix a bit more with Elliot, but we didn't really
figure it out yet. There's serious confusion about the scope of oafd
(session, display, machine, home directory, domain) and its lifecycle,
and also the scope/lifecycle of the servers it spawns. There needs to
be some rational solution to this sometime which allows users to both
display X apps on a remote display, and also have two displays on the
same machine.
The killall -g oafd thing tends to destroy Nautilus on display :1 if
you log out of display :0, is the main bad thing. So this really needs
fixing in some better way.
GNOME is mostly broken for the two-sessions-at-once case anyhow
though, so we are just adding to an existing problem, not creating it,
not that that makes anyone feel better...
I gave up on the exit-after-timeout solution, because it's quite a bit
of work and code rearrangement inside oafd, and I don't have time to
do it for now. Especially since we haven't figured out how things
should work in the big picture.
Setting the process group is maybe nice long-term anyway, since it's
useful to be able to oaf-slay.
