oh fine, that will do it ;-)

actually there's a more comfortable solution for that ... I use
something like
this now:
pipe = popen(command, "r")
self.gtag = input_add(pipe, GDK.INPUT_READ, self.ReadOutput)
def ReadOutput(self, pipe, readwrite):
line = pipe.readline()
if (line == ""):
pipe.close()
input_remove(self.gtag)
else:
self.output.insert_defaults(line)
There is some problem with buffering, but that's not too bad :)

I'm gonna try that piece of code, thanks a lot !
James said something about some terminal emulation thingie in the gnome
wrapper, maybe this can handle all cases :)
Thanks for your help !

Interesting company :) I've been trying bru2000 once (the version which
has been
shipped with RedHat 5.1), but I didn't get it to work within a minute,
so I
didn't mess around with it any longer (I don't really need backup
software for
my old 400MB streamer ;-))
