Perhaps I'm a bit slow, but how would it not do this if it relies on the
inheritance of a previously non-existent environment variable that needs
to be deleted if a process shall not be killed on session exit?
The way someone would opt out would be to do this
unsetenv("XDG_SESSION_COOKIE");
if (fork() <= 0)
exit (1);
very early in the program.
