Description poelzi 2011-01-20 03:21:48 UTC 
Version:           unspecified (using KDE 4.5.5) 
OS:                Linux

As a application starter, krunner should do setsid() before executing so the started program will get a new session.
The session id is a very good way to to distinguish different program groups, but currently all programs started under krunner have the same.

This increases allows systems to be better scheduled with the autogrouper of 2.6.38 or ulatencyd.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
execute some programs with krunner
execute: ps xafw -o pid,args,session

Actual Results:  
sessions of all childs are the same.

Expected Results:  
should be different
