Sounds like you wanted to build a pop-up dialog widget:

If I understand you correctly, I ran into this same problem recently.
When you register the program with XManager, try setting the "noblock"
keyword to 0 (create a blocking widget). The commandline will be
blocked, but you can do what you want with the GUI and no further
processing will happen. When the GUI is destroyed, everything will
continue on as normal.
