I think I was worried about something like this:

1) ssh -Y other_machine
2) git help -w, it opens my browser
3) open many other tabs in the browser
4) exit other_machine, oops my browser with all my tabs is gone

It seems to me that the browser will be killed anyway if ssh connection
is closed. At least, that what happened when I used ssh -Y localhost. In
fact, "nohup" made only easier to kill the browser in this way:
ssh -Y localhost
git help -w
exit
CTRL-C

Without "nohup" CTRL-C had no effect, but when I started the browser
with nohup then the connection would be closed and the browser killed.
