The idea is ok, but the example lines are incorrect. As it is written (running xv in foreground) it wastes 2 sec for nothing. This would be more correct: (xv -quit -root <image> && aterm) & Or: xv -quit -root <image> & (sleep 3 && aterm) & Regards, Mikhael. -- Visit the official FVWM web page at <URL: http://www.fvwm.org/>.
