I think it needs some kind of "X presence" in order to work correctly.
bbkeys runs and executes commands in the background, on a text console.
If I run the above command from an open aterm, or if I user `aterm -e`
from bbkeys, it works as expected.

Not sure how to force that "X presence". Perhaps if I could find a tool
that will open an invisible X window briefly just for the purpose of
executing a command...
