Probably should've added something to the patch for that, actually. Guess one could check if stdin was a terminal and prevent the fastgrab. But then there's always the obscure use cases, like if someone sshs in and tries to do something like DISPLAY=:0 dmenu -f in which case, there wouldn't be a lock up and refusing to run would be silly. Probably best just leaving it like you said, and treating it with fear. > The patch has a typo, btw: usage claims to add a '-q' flag. Good spot, thanks > Thanks, > cls
