Hello Sara,

Zim 0.66 seems to exhibit a typical behaviour for a desktop app. The
previous behaviour - forking into background - was rather unusual. You
can use `nohup zim &` for your workflow to get closer to the previous
state.

Or define an alias: `alias zim="nohup /usr/bin/zim > /dev/null 2>&1 &"`

Best regards,

Jiri Janousek
