[Bug 5889] New: setsid() in xfce_spawn

http://bugzilla.xfce.org/show_bug.cgi?id=5889

           Summary: setsid() in xfce_spawn
    Classification: Xfce
           Product: Libxfce4ui
           Version: 4.7.0
          Platform: Other
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: Medium
         Component: General
        AssignedTo: nick@...
        ReportedBy: nick@...
         QAContact: bjt23@...
                CC: xfce-bugs@...


When porting Xfrun to 4ui, the following function was called.

static void
xfrun_spawn_child_setup(gpointer data)
{
#if !defined(G_OS_WIN32) && defined(HAVE_SETSID)
    setsid();
#endif
}

I used gdk_spawn_on_screen directly, so not an issues for xfrun, but do we need
something like this in xfce_spawn?

No -- IIRC waitpid() won't work after you call setsid() since that ends up
creating a fresh process group and (I think) reparents the child pid.  The
setsid() in xfrun might actually be unnecessary...
