In KDE, I simply used 'konqueror / &' to start it, but how do I accomplish the same task in Gnome?

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

Well, that script doesn't do more than I do from command line.. :) I can start apps with a trailing '&' to get the prompt back, but it seems like the nautilus app doesn't exit properly. After starting it, and then exit nautilus, I still have a couple of processes running on the system.. Highly annoying.. This alone makes me prone to switch back to KDE since I don't really use the desktop at all on this system, it normally runs in level 3. After exiting, these are still running: 5142 pts/1 Sl 0:01 nautilus --no-desktop 5144 pts/1 S 0:00 /opt/gnome/lib/GConf/2/gconfd-2 11 5147 ?
