orphan-reaper is a user daemon that spawns a process and reaps all orphaned grandchildren. This is useful if you want to keep your process tree clean. For instance if you want all programs started from inside the same display server instance to appear to be inside that display if you look inside the process tree, rather than all processes that loses their parent being reparented to PID 1 and make a mess on your process tree.
