  If you know the command you want, you can run it in the background by typing
'&' after the command.  For instance if you want to run xeyes, type:  'xeyes &'

This enables you to keep using your x terminal.

The other alternative is to monkey around with the x window files and add the
desired progs to the menus.  For some good introductory info on X, type:  'man
X'

Hope this is what you're looking for.
