Title:
  0.10.2: Linux: openApp foregrounds apps by default (script has to
  wait) --- fixed in X 1.0rc1

Status in Sikuli:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  Sikuli 0.10.1, Ubuntu 32-bit 10.04.

  openApp() more or less works on Linux.  However, the default behavior
  seems to be to open the application in the foreground (current
  thread), preventing the rest of the Sikuli script from running.  My
  interpretation of the OSX examples is that openApp() runs apps in the
  background by default, allowing the Sikuli script to continue.  If
  this were not the case, I suspect the OSX examples would have the same
  problems with openApp() blocking as I do on Linux.

  I've been unable to do things like openApp("appname &") so I have made
  a wrapper script that Sikuli will run in the foreground, but the
  wrapper runs the intended app in the background.
