After upgrade to Fedora 43, killing a konsole window kills a process running in the background

[Sbob]

All;

when I was running Fedora 42 - KDE Spin I could do this:

*open konsole*

*become root*

*# virt-manager &*

then close the konsole and virt-manager would continue to run

I upgraded via the steps on this page:
https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/quick-docs/upgrading-fedora-offline/

Now this happens:

*open konsole*

*become root*

*# virt-manager &*

then close the konsole and virt-manager immediately dies / goes away

Thoughts?

Thanks in advance

terminal, try nohup or daemonize (probably the latter)

nohup works, any idea why I did not need nohup on Fedora 42?

Was about to say this. Running virt-manager as root is probably not a
good idea unless there's some specific need for it, and the launcher
menu takes care of backgrounding.
