I never launch a GUI program from a terminal because it's inefficient.
When you do it, you show me how I'm right about it.
Heh, I rarely start a GUI from anything but the command line.
When you launch your GUI applications from the terminal, you have two>
issues. And that takes forever. The first one is you need to move it on
another workspace, you do it with your mouse and it's slow (and when you
loose the focus and interact with another application, it's fun to see
how you struggle to do basic things). And second, when your application
is on your right workspace, you need to resize it. Which takes you
forever a second time.
Heh, most WM's will let you do all that with keystrokes.
When you launch something every day, it should be very fast and your way>
is very slow. I don't need a mouse driven menu, but for a GUI lackey
like you, you should configure it to suit your needs and to be
efficient.
I set up some Fluxbox menus, but also hot-keys for my most frequent actions.
I do like Fluxbox's menu navigation, though. Super-M P P, for example.
Super-M brings up the desktop menu, P selects my personal sub-menu, and
P then selects Power Off.

But this is stock stuff, anybody who spends much time on Linux will find their
best way to do things.
