weird Linux question

[Brian Densmore]

You need to background the program before logging out, but some Linux music
apps do that for you via a preferences button like "continue running
on log out". I've never done it to an app running in a WM, but I'm sure it's
possible. In fact I've never done it to a running app, only to newly
started apps.
