Mike, 'adding nohup to gwenvirew' equates to 'running gwenvirew as a 
daemon', which can be easily done (if you know how). 

Simplistically, you fork the program, disown the child (which then becomes 
child of init, which is PID 1) and exit the parent.
Give at shot, it'll keep you entertained...    ;-)
