Thank you, Mikhael.
Great advice to use sync. PipeRead in exchange of async. Exec !.

The same can be applied in the menu instruction
for visualizing the last closed window:

> + "last X closed" Exec exec xwud -in $HOME/.lastx.xwd

it doesn't show up immediatly,
which can create confusion in the user.
To avoid it:

+ "last X closed" Exec piperead `xwud -in $HOME/.lastx.xwd >/dev/null`


Have another millenium.
Juanjo.

It will work with any ClickTime and not only on "C" if you use synchronous
PipeRead instead of asynchronous Exec:

+ I PipeRead `xwd -silent -id $w -out $HOME/.lastx.xwd >/dev/null`
