    Yeah, it did have a request for user input, and it never appeared in 
the GUI, so I guess it must try to run it in the background. I actually 
prefer running stuff like that in the terminal, I just thought it might 
be weird that it didn't run the exe in gnome. Sometimes, the default 
program to open those files is WINE for some reason.
