Etrem not doing what it was doing?
 
I recently got really pissed off at all the gnome applications screwing up so many times that I finally got rid of everything "gnome" on my system. I replaced gedit with gnotepad+ (which I like much better) and gnome-terminal with eterm. Now, the day I switched over with eterm, I was able to launch a program, put it in the background with ctrl-z and then bg, and then close eterm and the program would continue on running. When I do thet now, I can't close eterm without it killing the background process as well. Why is it doing this? How can I make programs launched with eterm stay running after I close eterm?

Also, since I got rid of all gnome apps, is there another app that is like gnome-system-monitor? I really hate having to use top to kill an app becasue you have to hunt for the process id and then kill it, I want a nice gui version where you can search for it and then right click to kill it.

you don't need to use top to kill a process... try "pkill firefox". that'll try to kill all processes whose name includes "firefox". easy!
