Bug Description

When the Panflute daemon terminates, any music player that it launched as a subprocess (as opposed to via D-Bus activation) is also killed. The player should remain running even if the daemon terminates.

This has been confirmed to happen with XMMS and Songbird but not Rhythmbox, as expected since Rhythmbox uses D-Bus activation.

Actually, this only seems to happen when killing the daemon with Ctrl-C when running it in a terminal window, such as when debugging.
