I can see a use-case for this, definitely, but perhaps the workarounds should be cleaner?

Perhaps a program that lets you start a process in its own control group? Managing control groups to make processes that are explicitly "persistent" by definition?

Ahh, well, in that case, why not just run the desktop processes that were causing problems in a scope that automatically terminates them when the user logs out, but have shell-started processes not be in the same scope?
