My question is about the behaviour of gnome-shell, started on login through the GNOME display manager, in a Fedora 24 framework.

If I issue from the Linux console the command

ps -aux

(after logging out from the gnome-shell) I still see all my processes running, and the only way to stop them is to send a kill interrupt.

Does anyone know why pressing the "End session" button on the upper right menu makes you exit from the session without stopping any associated process?

    This is a known behavior, and the reason for a controversial change (KillUserProcesses=yes) in systemd Commented Mar 29, 2017 at 15:37

    @Tigger I should have added links before. From a quick search, there are bug reports to DBus (which systemd implements) and GNOME. Here is the changelog from the systemd release that introduced KillUserProcesses Commented Dec 23, 2017 at 22:57
