    I think that the part that actually runs system commands is in:

I've created a patch to fix it. Stats:

Basically, what I did was to add a new parameter to SystemcallPrivate::startProcess() to tell if we should detach. If so, I'm calling QProcess::startDetached instead of QProcess::start().

Who knows this code well enough to comment?
