Too weird. On my rig, it ends with broken X11 (most likely) - it starts returning a lot of X11 errors and eventually ends on segfault.

Looks like some weird issue with fork, hard to say...

Hm, console == true if application is build with CONSOLE mode. It is true I did tested only with such apps, while you might be trying with X11 apps.. maybe a clue?!

Well, usually I like to have a console even on X11 apps, so I can see error and log messages, so I put console=true on Host.cpp and I got a running xterm that launches the X11 gui app.
All goes ok, no error and no crashes, and the xterm stays there (correctly) when I kill the X11 app.
I didn't try with a pure console app.... but I can do if you need.
BTW, I think it's not a bad idea to have a 'xterm' toggle on run options, sometimes it's better to have a separate console than the ide one...
