Bug#889699: gnome-terminal-server leaves left-over processes, causing systemd to complain

Package: gnome-terminal
Version: 3.26.2-3
Severity: normal

Dear maintainer,

Gnome-terminal-server is set up to leave child processes running after
it exits. I think this is a good thing, but it seems that it exits as
soon as all UI windows are closed, and systemd feels the need to
complain about the left-over processes. As a result, whenever I close
the terminal, my log is filled with systemd warnings.

I'm not sure what the best solution is here, but it seems at least the
server could just stay around in anticipation of a new UI window being
opened.

Kind regards,
Matijs

PS: See https://github.com/systemd/systemd/issues/7864 for a discussion
about the possibility of systemd not logging as much.
