Issue 23: Processes from .xinitrc stay around forever http://code.google.com/p/xmonad/issues/detail?id=23 Comment #1 by dons00: To proceed with this we need to deterimine what other window managers do. As far as I can tell, wmii and dwm take no special action (and in fact, recommend not using 'exec', and explicitly waiting on sibling processes). This is currently also what we recommend in xmonad. If however, we can establish some convention on what we're supposed to do in this, we could try to implement a waiting mechanism.
