   I now realized my question did not say exactly what I intended it to. 
I know I can start 'git gui' using:
   start "" /b cmd /c git gui
   from the command prompt and get the desired effect. I was wondering 
why git gui does not do this in the first place and whether it could be 
modified so that this is the default behaviour?
   Best regards,
