we need start stunnel on linux desktop by ordinary user (like on windows): 1 click stunnel icon on system menu 2 enter user certificate password 3 use opened tunnels with users applications 4 on desktop session ends close all tunnels

make XDG menu entry file: [Desktop Entry] Type=Application Name=stunnel Categories=Network; GenericName=TLS/SSL - Port Wrapper Comment[ru_RU]=Секретный туннель Icon=stunnel Exec=/usr/bin/stunnel Terminal=true X-KeepTerminal=true

but only problem is how stunnel react on signals: HUP is daemon's "reload config". in X-session HUP signal is "session end" and stunnel is not exited on closing terminal or logout.

attached patch change this behavior: if "foreground=yes" specified in stunnel.conf HUP signal is treated as TERM and stunnel exited.

foreground=yes is "debug" or "desktop" mode of stunnel.

XDG-desktop file and icon file may be included in default stunnel distributions.
