This is a rather old bug, so who knows if this still matters to anyone.... But as a workaround, I've found that if you use:
osdctl -s 'foo,' i.e., you add a comma (which translates to a newline) to the end of the string, the extra garbage won't be printed. And it's not always the previous message. In fact, on my system it's typically some substring of a font specification, though it's sometimes part of the previous message. Presumably some careless checking of string boundaries or something. -- Jeremy Hankins <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> PGP fingerprint: 748F 4D16 538E 75D6 8333 9E10 D212 B5ED 37D0 0A03 -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
