Hello, I send a patch for this bug.
Reason of the bug: xdiskusage allows to do something like: du | xdiskusage. If stdin is closed, xdiskusage was reading from "nothing" and waiting endless. Hope that is possible to fix "soon" :-) (2 years later) -- Carles Pina i Estany GPG id: 0x8CBDAE64 http://pinux.info Manresa - Barcelona
