xdgdesktopfile: Allow non-detach starting #244

Closed palinek closed 3 years ago

palinek commented 3 years ago

Allow runtime overriding of detachment of processes by setting the QTXDG_START_DETACH_TRULY. Default value is true [1]. With this the application (using libqt5xdg) can correctly send termination signal to child processes on the application exit.

With this we can help applications started by lxqt-session/panel/runner to quit gracefully.

It'll be very useful because apps may save some of their settings (window size, cursor position, etc.) when they exit.
