[CentOS Stream 9] process doesn't exit when started from another terminal and keeps emitting panel notifications

[shantanugadgil]

ghostty built from the main branch on CentOS Stream 9 using XFCE as the DE.

/usr/local/zig/zig version
0.13.0

git clone https://github.com/ghostty-org/ghostty.git
cd ghostty/
/usr/local/zig/zig build -Doptimize=ReleaseFast -p /opt/ghostty

When I launch the default Terminal and then start ghostty like so:

$ /opt/ghostty/bin/ghostty 

Now, when I exit ghostty, using CTRL+D , the parent never exits; ps -aefH from a different terminal shows the following:

shantanu   55665       1  0 18:39 tty2     00:00:04   /usr/bin/xfce4-terminal
shantanu   55690   55665  0 18:39 pts/1    00:00:00     bash
shantanu   56766   55690  3 18:47 pts/1    00:00:00       /opt/ghostty/bin/ghostty
shantanu   56011   55665  0 18:41 pts/3    00:00:00     bash
shantanu   56860   56011  0 18:47 pts/3    00:00:00       ps -aefH

Output from the first window if it helps:

Any commands which I run in ghostty keep notifying the shell's panel:

The missing icon in the notification is something which can be ignored for now as that is probably due to the custom install location of /opt/ghostty rather than /usr

EDIT: please ignore the desktop notifications option, I found the option to disable it! desktop-notifications = false

Just an update: even launching the binary directly does the same, i.e. process does not exit.

clicking the ❌ symbol on the top right does make window close correctly.

On a hunch I searched for "ghostty and CTRL D" and found this:
#3135

adding gtk-adwaita = false fixes the "process not exiting" issue.

Should we close this discussion?

Now, "only" looking forward to GUI configuration/settings manager within ghostty, inside of editing the text file directly! One can wish!!! 🪄
