Bug Description
Binary package hint: xtoolwait
the xtoolwait binary is installed in /usr/X11R6/
Also, the description of the xtoolwait package is a little narrow considering it's benefits. It's like nohup with X awareness. Besides the scenario listed in the package description, you could also say:
"xtoolwait can also be used to start X programs from a shell prompt. So, that when the shell exits, the program started via xtoolwait won't die because it's parent has died."
E.g., it's like an X-aware version nohup. You start programs with xtoolwait from the shell, when the shell exits, the program keeps going.
