I was using it in the background for a while and found that it wasn't getting killed when I logged out like the other things that that window started up were (twm, xclock, xload), so that I would eventually have a number of them hanging around fighting over the console output. I haven't looked into that yet. Let me know what you find out about doing it right. g.
