sorry to disagree with the master, but t'ain't so.

here i am on KDE (same machine, no reboot).
i goto an empty desktop, left-click, click 'run command'
-- NB there's no 'open in terminal' box -- ,
enter 'lynx' as before & yes it disappears into the void,
but no it doesn't affect the rest of KDE.

let me do it again, while you (virtually) wait ...
... & here i am back again on my Mutt desktop to resume writing this.

if KDE can handle it, why can't XFCE 4 ?
