User starts Program A. Program A starts Program B Program A terminates normal Program B crashes.
On my setup, the debugger starts in that circumstance, loads all dlls and then immediate terminates, as the there is no xterm connected to Program B any more.
Well in that case you have to use a separate console. It would be nice to have the possibility to detect that the Unix tty is not available and automatically pop up a console in that case; but unconditionally creating a console is wrong, there are many cases where you don't want that.
