I cannot believe how many people are arguing that they are 'fixing a problem' or 'adding new functionality' here. They do neither of those things; and I really hope none of the guys who argued that are writing code in their day job - sad enough those systemd guys that came up with this hack do!

The new state of affairs: dependent processes are killed by default on log-out, but there's a new opt out method.
The only difference is the old opt-out method is now ignored, in order to reap the misbehaving Gnome processes that use it - until of course those processes adapt to the new API or some other processes do something similar, and we can start the game anew, instead of ever fixing the misbehaving code...
