Hi,
this has not directly anything to do with blackbox.
but in the recent memory usage hype i also took a
closer look into my ps list and i saw some strange things.

my .xinitrc file looks something like

sleep 1 && bbapp1 &
sleep 2 && bbapp2 &
.
.
.
exec blackbox

now i find for every "sleep" a  shell running in my ps list, using
almost 1MB of RAM. This is in addition to the programs bbapp1, bbapp2, ...
the line in `ps aux` output  looks like:

marcus  1799  0.0  2.5  1540  784  1 S  20:12  0:00 sh /home/marcus/.xinitrc
 
if i start my apps without the sleep commandos, these are gone ( leaving me
with a scrambled slit :(  ). Can sombody explain this to me. Where do these
shells come from. I am a bit clueless.
