I don't think that the question is really that stupid. People are used 
to the mouse.

So, shouldn't the KILL message be propagated to its child process?
bash could react then. Or is it only propagated if bash would register 
itself as an (invisible) window, just to receive those parent messages? 
Just on --login of course.

If so, it should be added IMHO. I know it's stupid, but bash is the most 
used login shell, which should react somehow.
