Comment(by huhabla):

 All the methods that i have tried are not working in case the GUI module
 uses {{{os.fork()}}} to start the module in the background.

 Why do we need fork() at all? Unix already support job management in the
 shell and it does not work on windows?

 If we really need it, can this be implemented in a better way?
