This has been resolved by avoiding to run commands in a terminal where
possible, as already indicated in the previous message to this list.

The part I haven't understood yet is the mechanism used by VTE to keep
track of child processes in order to kill them. If someone has more
knowledge on that, I'd be interested, but it is no longer important.

Thanks!
