This helps with an issue where previously we did not wait for Child processes, and `oadesktopentry` could end up with many zombie `sh` processes under it, which would persist until `opendeck` was restarted.

This PR fixes a problem where the plugin was leaving behind zombie
shprocesses after each button push as we weren't.wait()ing on the returnedChild.We now
forkand detach child processes to avoid zombieshprocesses gathering under theoadesktopentryprocess.This was tested by launching a variety of desktop apps, including both long running (terminals) and briefly running (opening links in an existing Firefox) processes.
