I don't have the knowledge to say if it's good or bad, but it broke rxvt. I don't ask a patch (I am able to comment a line), I just want to know the motivation. I agree typical X programs shouldn't use stdin but I don't see why they should be disallowed to do so. Thanks. Guillaume -- Visit the official FVWM web page at <URL:http://www.fvwm.org/>.
