<pre>Yes, that's intentional; we spawn an intermediary process that spawns the real subprocess and then immediately quits, to ensure the real subprocess gets parented by pid 1 so that the UI process doesn't have to worry about reaping it. To avoid that, we would have to pass G_SPAWN_DO_NOT_REAP_CHILD to g_spawn_async in ProcessLauncherGtk.cpp (and also reap the child processes when they quit).</pre>
