There seems to be a lot of zombie processes started by fvwm2 (mostly
'sh').
Is there something wrong with my rc file?
Doing 'ps -AH' shows that these processes where forked by fvwm2.
I suspect they are shells that run commands started through the menus.
Are these run using 'system()' or 'fork()/execv()'? If run with 'system()'
it uses the shell to execute the command, right?
