Public bug reported:
nohup seems to have stopped working, not sure since when. It's easy to
reproduce:
1. Close your default browser
2. Run:
nohup sensible-browser &
3. Wait for the browser to open
4. Close the terminal emulator
The browser is terminated.
I have discovered that, instead of running nohup, the job has to be
removed from the job table:
sensible-browser &
disown
