Thanks.  And I'm blaming X... or fork()... because it doesn't catch
keypresses.

I'm trying out plenty of these suggestions.  I wish there was some way of
dealing with it directly in C... but having it as a script certainly makes
it more accessible in a "runtime" sense.  Thanks!

Actually dmenu grabs the keyboard before(!) reading from
standard input, hence X should cache all keypresses it gets
during this time until readstdin(); finishes. If not, then blame
X or fork().

On the other hand I also agree that using a program list cache
is wise.
