We put applications in cgroups to ensure that their PIDs don't escape
and we can kill them all when the app shuts down. The Upstart cgroup
stanza uses cgmanager.

  applications close instantly when launched from the launcher or dash
  but... if i launch the apps from a VT (for ex firefox using Xmir or gedit native --), the app loads ok.

  what close instantly means.. it opens the window and then it closes
  instantly in ~0.3s
