GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 337392
zenity --progress kills parent process!

I simply couldn't believe it. Run zenity --progress from inside gnome-terminal and choose Cancel, puh, the gnome-terminal is gone! It's right in the code, it kills the parent with SIGHUP... I can imagine why this was added, but cannot accept that it's anything like sensible. Also note that closing the dialog using the window manager X button doesn't kill parent. So that's one bug for the least :). Moreover, I think this should be an option not default. SIGHUP seems too harsh also.
