What I was trying to say is that if a script appends --help to
/bin/false because of a poorly sanitized user input, it should still
return 1. And this change in behaviour wont not break any script nor
user interaction with the applet. (Maybe even fixes some scripts!)
Do you have an example of any real word script that passes any arguments
(user supplied or not) to /bin/false ?
