GNOME and KDE spit out errors like this constantly, and I've never
figured out why. Programs run fine, even as GNOME and KDE complain like
hell.

When you say it "stalls", do you mean it doesn't return to a prompt? If
so, it's acting correctly. You launched a program from the command line
which hasn't terminated yet. Like any other command launched this way,
you don't get a prompt back until it terminates. The best way to do this
is to add nvu to the menus in X. Don't ask me how this is done on
Fedora, because I have no idea. But that would obviate having to run it
from a console.
