I'm not sure what you tried since I wasn't suggesting anything.  I
was just saying that a service would want to stay running after
logoff but every use of setsid is not a service.  However, setsid
would sort of imply that it should be long-running, too.

I don't know what is specific to rxvt.  Maybe it's the @#(&!
pty/FreeConsole stuff.
