That's the problem! Plover isn't launching using the QT GUI, but something else. (I use Linux, so I have the QT GUI by default, I'm not sure what the other GUI framework Plover uses. You'll have to work out how to force QT GUI to be used. It only works when your terminal because your terminal is running the program, so closing it stops the QT framework from being used. (I believe, I'm not a Mac user)
