Re: [RP] launch and title?

[Mark Eichin]

Umm, why would you ever use ratpoison -c exec, instead of just
*running* $1 directly?

And then once you realize that, you can just use "xtoolwait $1" which
waits until the window is up, at which point the ratpoison -c title is
a lot more likely to be reliable (I don't think you can actually do
better than that without knowing something about the program...)
