Not a gerat solution, but if you did launch something in bash, and you don't care about STDOUT/ERR (or you're directing to a file), you can run "disown %1" to detach it from your shell after you've launched it. The program will continue to run until it finishes naturally (or it's killed)

You can't reattach the program, but there's other ways to auto-launch screen if you're often doing that.
