I would make a bash script that does what you want and add it to a
directory your path, then just call it from a launcher and be done with it.

ex.: make an executable called joeview and put it in /usr/local/bin or
~/bin (and make sure that's in your path!):
$ cat joeview
#!/bin/bash
nohup gwenview filename.jpg >/dev/null 2>&1 &
$

Alt+F2 joeview enter
You probably wouldn't even need nohup or the & at that point!
