It depends upon the shell you're using. nohup is required on
sh and csh, but it is not required on bash. I never, ever need to
use nohup and I regularly start programs from an xterm and then
exit that xterm, and even X11 altogether. I have a seti launcher
which does this without a nohup.

No matter what we think of Linux versus FreeBSD, etc., the one thing I
really like about Linux is that it has Microsoft worried. Anything
that kicks a monopoly in the pants has got to be good for something.
