Note that this will not work on OpenBSD anyway; even mksh, which
does implement this bashism, will not parse this

Dear list,
I was playing with xfe (which by the way I consider a great program) and
noticed that opening a root window with sudo in OBSD doesn't work.
After a bit of debugging, I found out that the root cause is the
following definition inside xfedefs.h:
#define SUDOCMD "-fn 7x14 -geometry 60x4
