It sounds like you're asking how to run a GTK app from a shell script
without waiting for it to end.

You do that just like you'd do it for anything else -- you run it as a
background task (usually by adding & at the end of your command line).  You
may also want to redirect the output/error streams to avoid printing to your
main terminal while it's running.

If you're doing it from some other language than a shell script, you'll have
to use the appropriate constructs for running background tasks and/or
redirecting output in that language.
