Btw, most people don't do that anymore.  They don't use terminals.  They 
click the application icons on their desktops and start menus or double 
click the executables in their file managers.  So it's not a matter of 
opening a second terminal tab, because the first one isn't even open.

To have a fluid desktop one shouldn't require to hack with terminal 
commands.
