Hi, here is something I want to share. I found a very simple way to realize a run dialog (similar to grun, tkrun, etc.) using an rxvt. The trick is to bind the string " &\nexit\n" (I'm using bash) to the return key.
To start the dialog I created the following script: .fvwm/run-dialog: #!/bin/sh rxvt +sb -name fvwm-run-dialog -title "run" -geometry 80x1+224+360 \ --keysym.0xFF0D: " &\nexit\n" -e bash --init-file \ $HOME/.fvwm/run-dialog.bash-init As an initialization script for bash it uses: .fvwm/run-dialog.bash-init: export PS1="" And in my .fvwm2rc I put: Style fvwm-run-dialog GrabFocus Key R A 4 Exec exec $[HOME]/.fvwm/run-dialog Now, I can start the dialog using "Win-R".
