What exactly do you mean by "respawning"?
The gnome model is that you want programs to persist across
logout/login, or at least, if you save your session. Some people
don't expect that, but it's not that hard to understand.
But I can't be sure exactly what you're confused about, since I don't
understand exactly what the behavior is that you are seeing.
