I'm trying to start an rxvt with an xpm background Everything's cool, except that I have to run rxvt-xpm instead of rxvt (when did this happen, BTW? It used to be different) However, I can't get a -scale option to work. The best I can do is: rxvt-xpm -pixmap /path/to/pixmap\;100x100 Which scales it fine. However, it's the damn semicolon that's doing me in. You have to use a backslash in bash, obviously, for the stuff after it to even get to rxvt-xpm. The problem I have is in the /etc/menu files... I'm using Joost's update (update-menus) package, for keeping track of stuff. I'm trying to have a few different rxvt's started as different menu options (different as in, with different backgrounds). However, setting the command to: command="rxvt-xpm -pixmap /path/to/pixmap\;100x100" doesn't work, nor does leaving out the backslash. In both cases the geometry string isn't getting to rxvt-xpm, because it just loads the pixmap without scaling (if the rxvt is resized, one can see that it is being tiled, effectively) Is there any way to get around this? Obviously, update-menus is stripping out the backslash, or something along the way is. -- kiyan@iname.com A scientific truth does not triumph by convincing A.
