True. Christian, what was the reason you added nohup?
I would imagine if you did this:
(1) open a new xterm;
(2) in that xterm, run the browser, perhaps from
git-help--browse, but without nohup, in the
background;
(3) exit the terminal
then the browser might get upset, losing its controlling
terminal.
But I suspect that would be a really broken behaviour.
