when using gnome-terminal instead of xterm, typing 'exit' will not kill the terminal

Description

actually, this action is erratic. Sometimes 'exit' will kill the terminal, usually it doesn't. With xterm it works at all times.

This is with Ubuntu and emelfm2 version 0.4.1

This appears to be another instance of "mingled" exit-reporting. Any command which uses the same glib functionality (g_spawn_async() etc) as does emelfm2 itself, can behave like this because process completion is not reported properly.
The solution is to build emelFM2 with the alternative command-execution enabled: include "NEW_COMMAND=1" among your 'make' arguments. (This does not work so well on old i.e. 2.4.x kernels, otherwise it would be the default.)
