fluxbox menu -> About doesn't work when user's shell is tcsh #808

Open sillysloft opened 16 years ago

sillysloft commented 16 years ago

The About item in the fluxbox menu doesn't work when the user's shell is /bin/tcsh

% tcsh --version tcsh 6.13.00 (Astron) 2004-05-19 (i386-intel-linux) options 8b,nls,dl,al,kan,rh,color,dspm,filec

% fluxbox-generate_menu -k -g -B -t konsole -b firefox2

the About menu command runs:

(fluxbox -v; fluxbox -info | sed 1d) 2> /dev/null | xmessage -file - -center

removing the 2> /dev/null fixes the problem. What's the point of redirecting stderr to /dev/null for that command anyways?

Well, I'm putting this one down as a tcsh bug, but I guess it doesn't have to be there. We redirect stderr because we don't want to be spewing random things onto stderr (it sometimes happens with those commands when using nls). So, yeah, "fixed".
