Nohup is good, and &, and disconnecting the user so they cannot generate other signals that still go to the child processes. I used to lose my X windows manager mwm because I hit ctrl-C (intr, SIGINT) on my keyboard to stop an interactive process on the same xterm I launched 'nohup mwm &' from!

mwm - The M*tif Window Manager SYNOPSIS
mwm [-toolkitoption ...] [-debug] [-xrm resourcestring ] [-multiscreen] [-name name ] [-screens [name [name [...]] ] [-version] [-V] DESCRIPTION

This includes synchronous sending of requests to the X server. -multiscreen Use multiple screens. -name name Make mwm retrieve its resources using the given name -screens [name [name [...]] Manage multiple screens. Not yet supported -version Print version information to stderr. FILES
/etc/X11/mwm/system.mwmrc The system wide configuration file. See mwmrc(5) for further details. ~/.mwmrc Per user configuration file. See mwmrc(5) for further details. X Resources mwm supports a number of resources. It departs from the Motif mwm specification in that all window decorations have separate resources. The resources are documented in the app defaults file for mwm, /etc/X11/app-defaults/Mwm. COPYING
