Sorry, bad form to reply to myself. I think I know what it
means. I used the function isatty() to detect whether
I was interactive like this:
#include <unistd.h>
#include <stdio.h>
main () {
printf("stdin is %d\n",isatty(0));
}
Then running this from Fvwm gave 2 different results, with just
plain Exec, you get "1". With Exec and the ampersand, you get
"0".
