The ability to click on a genmon icon to launch a program is already
implemented with the Xfce launcher plugin. That plugin detaches the launched
program (parent process of launched program has process id 1) and thereby
avoids waiting or hanging.

The genmon plugin is reimplementing the launcher functionality.

Skimming the Xfce panel code, I see that it uses a variety of GLib functions,
including g_spawn_sync() and g_spawn_async().
These functions are documented here:
