Well, pipes are implemented by the pflocal server, so there is something special about it. This speciality should be completely hidden to the user, though, by the standard interface (glibc). That pipes generally work is essential is easy to see. Otherwise we had a real problem :) But maybe there is some subtle incompatibility that only shows up under special circumstances. What you have to do is compile xfce with debugging symbols and debug it. If it crashes, gdb will tell you. If it simply exits, you need to narrow down the place where it fails and step through that. Come back when you have a bit more information, for example the instructions that eventually lead to an exit, or so. Marcus -- `Rhubarb is no Egyptian god.'
