Yeah, thanks, been to all these places already,sleep included (except setsid in Wayland but I doubt that’s the crucial issue). And yes it does work, sort of - the problem is that the apps exit spontaneously at some point later - sometimes hours, sometimes days - which absolutely does not happen when I launch them in whatever “official” way. In the end I just gave up. Needing a sleep hack is a bit of a red flag after all.
In X11 you can just use ‘exec app-name’ and it will replace the terminal window with the app. In Wayland, I got it to work with this:
setsid app-name & disown sleep 1 exitWithout the ‘sleep 1’, it exits the terminal too quickly for the app to launch, at least when I tried it.
