This is tangential (at best) to your real goal, but whenever I launch 
GUI applications from a shell, I use a script called "gui":

-==--==--==--==--==--==--==--==--==--==--==--==--==--==--==-
#!/bin/bash --norc

executable="$(type -p "$1" 2>/dev/null)"

if [ ! -x "$executable" ]; then

    echo "gui: \"$1\" not found."
    exit 1

fi
