Description:
I just got locked out of X for several hours because I changed
an Exec to a Piperead in StartFunction:
< + I Exec display -window root ~/.backing.png
> + I PipeRead display -window root ~.backing.png
I did this to get the root background set before starting
any fvwm modules. Since I forgot the quotes Piperead just ran
"display" which tried to open a window. It was blocked waiting
for fvwm to reparent the window and fvwm was blocked waiting
for display to quit: deadlock with no timeout: very annoying
Is it possible to change PipeRead to work like Exec?
