Thats the problem, i don't know if its intended. I would have thought that all user processes should get shut down at logoff.
That depends on whether you have KillUserProcesses=yes in /etc/systemd/logind.conf.
Note: This also kills things like screen snd tmux, if you want them to survive, you need to use something like „systemd-run —user screen“ with lingering enabled (see manpage).
I've never touched that file and this "systemd" not closing situation is fairly new. Did something change in a download? According to the logind.conf comments, the file contents are generated by kcmsystemd control module v1.2.1, can you mod it without it being overwritten again or is there a configurator program?
This is something that GNOME does, not systemd. GNOME is generally notorious for keeping user processes running after logout since they still assume Linux desktops to be single user. I remember talking to a GNOME upstream developer at LinuxTag 2005(!), asking them why there are still gconfd processes running after logout as this poses a serious problem in a multiuser environment like our university back then where that resulted in hundreds of gconfd processes after just a few days. The GNOME guy was very surprised to hear that such environments exist and didn’t really have an answer to my original question. It goes along with the crippling of GDM and removing the language setting feature or being able to store session preferences per user independent of the login machine used (looking at you accountsservicesd). Antway, your best bet is to use the systemd feature above. However, keep in mind that GNOME might also start systemd-user services which can be kept alive with the lingering option.
