So this relates to my latex-suite question a while back, which I
solved, but is mysterious.

On my Ubuntu 8.10 desktop if I issue
   :!evince sample.pdf
It will open up sample.pdf and leave me free to edit inside gvim. (My
desired result.)

I have an Ubuntu 9.04 laptop running the same exact configuration of
gvim, yet there when I do
   :!evince sample.pdf
Evince will open but I will be unable to edit inside gvim until I
close evince.

Now naturally one would think that the trick is to open evince in the
background:
   :!evince sample.pdf &

But on both systems this does not result in evince being opened.

What controls this behavior?
