it can but sending it to the back ground with & does not thell it to ignore the hangup signal sent to child processes when the console dies. Try nohup kedit myprog.c & see if that has the expected results. <editor war> or of course use a real editor. gvim detaches itself from the parent so neither & nor nohup are needed </editor war> :) seriously, I have never used kedit it may bee the coolest thing since the hard drive for all I know.
