background command within function



gg()
{
    imwheel
    /opt/GeoGebra-Linux-Portable-5-2-853-0/geogebra-portable $@ &
    imwheel -k -q
}

... I like to background things where I can, but in this case the function continues to execute and 'imwheel -k  -q' gets run even before geogebra is quit.  I think I'm wanting to have my cake and eat it too, but just in case, can I have both?  -- I get my prompt back, but the final command is not run until I quit geogebra?  Not a big deal, I can always switch to another xterm if I want one, still there might just be a way.  I'll bet there is.
