You will have to append "&" to the process, but yes.

What do you mean? It works the same :-?
When you launch wireshark from a desktop shortcut the application will
get a PID ("ps aux|grep wireshark" will tell the process ID for this app)
and will keep that way until you close it.

It should use the default environment locale ("locale" command will
tell). This can be modified for some programs "on the fly", by setting
the variable "LANG" before launching the application.
For instance, if my locale is set to Spanish:
sm01@stt008:~$ locale|grep -i lang
LANG=es_ES.UTF-8
And I want to run an application (and see the GUI) in English, I can:
LANG=POSIX; gedit
