The menu system of fvwm-crystal only displays menu entries when the executable for those entries can be found. It furthermore uses the name of the executable to find the appropriate icon. Since the title usually differs from the name of the executable I cannot use it here. The purpose of CommandWOArgs is to strip the arguments and return just the name of the command. The problem with the above is solved by applying the stripdir after the echo $0 and not to the command itself (which produces the bc` here).
Now this is not going to work for shell builtin commands like eval anyway, as there is no executable for fvwm-crystal to discover the entry will not be displayed (I know it should work). Now I don't really know how to deal with that problem, as I would have to detect shell builtin and use sh as the commandname instead.. -Mike -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
