Hi all,

A small update, to replicate the bad behaviour:

$ while true; do echo "^tw()1"; sleep 10; done | dzen2 -e
"button1=togglecollapse;button3=exit" -l 1 -fn
"-*-clean-medium-r-*-*-12-*-*-*-*-*-*-*" -bg "#ff0000" -fg "#000000"

dzen2 bar appears but it isn't clickable... :-(
Whereas if i try this way:

$ Xephyr -ac -br -screen 800x600 :1

$ export DISPLAY=:1
$ while true; do echo "^tw()1"; sleep 10; done | dzen2 -e
"button1=togglecollapse;button3=exit" -l 1 -fn
"-*-clean-medium-r-*-*-12-*-*-*-*-*-*-*" -bg "#ff0000" -fg "#000000"

it works! I don't understand why... The only difference is that in the
nested X, Xmonad isn't running... :-|


Cheers,
