hm, that doesn't happen for me (i just tested).   can you provide a
workflow that makes that happen?  here's what i did:

 * xapers add --file=blah.pdf --tags=test
 * xapers view test
 * hit enter when blah.pdf is selected
 * leave the pdf viewer open (i've tried with okular and evince), and
back in the xapers view console, hit q
 * xapers terminates, pdf viewer remains open.

looking at my test changes, i see that maybe you do want to send stderr
and stdout to /dev/null, which i probably shouldn't have stripped.  i'll
try to re-add that, and send the patches to the list.

would xapers remember the original filename? for some people (and some
papers) that might be a useful piece of information.
