Heh--it's like nohup(/daemom), except you make a SOAP call through some middleware to beg some more middleware for mercy so you can do the thing your user asked you to do, because everyone's being punished for a few programs' poor use of the old, more portable API. (I exaggerate, slightly.) I'm not looking forward to what comes next when Gnome breaks through the new system.
