[clug] Launch gnome-terminal to launch daemon process

[David Deaves]

Most likely method causing your python to exit when the shell does is it 
receiving a SIGHUP when the terminal exits.  You should be able to handle this 
by adding this command before the python command

trap '' 1

may even want to ignore SIGINT also so

trap '' 1 2


Another possibility is some IO to the pseudo terminal now failing when it 
goes away - this is less likely to be your issue and normally has the opposite 
effect, calling programs don't exit/carry on until the child program exits.

exec <&-   #  Will close STDIN
exec >&- 2>&-  # Will close STDOUT - though as you want to see errors from python you probably don't want this
