I don't get it! (there seems to be a lot of things I don't get as of late) For some reason when I start something and background it from a xterm, something like netscape or xemacs, and then close the xterm, the other apps also close. I am using fvwm2. Anyone know what is going on?

When you close an xterm it sends all its children the HUP signal which causes most programs to exit. One possible solution is to exit the shell with `exit' or by pressing Ctrl-d.
