Speaking of Gimp, and going a bit off-topic here, can anyone explain
why I cannot seem to run gimp-remote in the same fashion? I do this:

! gimp-remote ? &

And it finishes right away without opening Gimp. The only way I can
start it is by doing:

! gimp-remote

But for some reason that locks up Emacs, although that does not happen
if I run it from Bash.

Is this an issue in gimp-remote, Emacs, or a combination?
