<p>If an xfce4-terminal is already running then trying to run another instance will instead open a new tab in the existing terminal instance and return immediately and does not wait.  This is the same as Geany does by default.</p>
<p>Because the command therefore returns immediately the gears never have time to visibly change to the stop sign before the program is finished and they return to the gears.</p>
