The normal way to write this is:
evolution >/dev/null &
And it will get a SIGHUP when you close that window or connection,
so if it's not ignoring that, that'd be a bad thing. You'll also
get a "you have stopped jobs" if that's a job-management shell.
(evolution &) >/dev/null
will stop the job management functions.
