Comment (by mikeperry):

 Hrm.. This case seems specific to the ssh X tunnel thingy you're doing
 here. While I would like to find some way to support that case (since I've
 heard rumors there are a lot of Linux people who use a local nested X
 server as a poor-man's X11 sandbox, and I suspect you're doing something
 similar here), I really do think that disowning is the sane way for TBB to
 behave by default, esp when invoked from the .desktop file.

 Is there either some way we can delay the disown to make your ssh hax
 work? Or should we provide a --foreground option for you that doesn't puke
 debug info, but also doesn't disown?
