 You should be able to use fork(), after all wxExecute() does it (see its
code in src/unix/utilsunx.cpp) and using it in OnInit() works fine, AFAIK.

 Or you could also use wxIMPLEMENT_APP_NO_MAIN() and provide your own
main() which would fork first, before calling wxEntry() from the branch
which needs to use wx. Read the documentation of wxDISABLE_DEBUG_SUPPORT()
macro if you do this.
