Running a GUI application on Linux without displaying gui?

I work with api, which requires an application to run, the application launches a graphical interface in Linux.

I need to provide some login information, and then hide the application.

Is there a way by which I can go to the computer, launch the graphical interface, and then hide it, log out and start other users without displaying the displayed graphical interface, but still having the application?

You can take a look at Xvfb http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Xvfb

this is the version of the framebuffer X. It will start the X11 server without displaying it (useful, for example, for selenium)
