I've just pushed it to 'next'.
Note that I had to also include <libintl.h>, because I got this
when I compiled:
CC main.o
CC menu.o
CC misc.o
misc.c: In function 'getuserinput':
misc.c:605: warning: incompatible implicit declaration of built-in function
'gettext'
CC monitor.o
CC motif.o

Having a _clean_ compilation output with --disable-verbose-compile
makes this warnings really stand out :-)

Doing a 'make install' if you chose --disable-verbose-compile
will give you a slightly screwed up instalation, because
I put some @echo where I shouldn't. It is a bug which I haven't
had time to fix, mostly because I don't install the wmaker
I compile myself

I did some limited testing on the feature. The history was supposed
to be saved in ~/GNUstep/.AppInfo/WindowMaker/History
but after using the Run dialog that file does not exist.
Perhaps I should at least create the file before using it?
And I thought that Tab completion was limited to the history,
but it seems to be more general, like the bash completion.

Of course I might be missing the whole point of having a "xterm + bash"
in the Run dialog.
It is in 'next' now, anyway. If people like it and want to polish it,
patches are always welcome.
