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.
