Unless things have changed recently, you'll also need to detach from the
controlling terminal using setsid(2) or an equivalent.  Under Linux,
the setsid(1) command can do this for you:

    setsid ssh someone at somwhere ...

You may also need to ensure the DISPLAY environment variable is set.  

Good luck.
