Hi, I was checking why there is two procces every time than I launch a console. I found than spawn uses /bin/sh to lauch applications. I think than to expecific commands is no need to double-fork, I added the patch lo launch console without double-fork: diff -rN old-xmonad/XMonad/Config.hs new-xmonad/XMonad/Config.hs 183c183 < [ ((modMask .|. shiftMask, xK_Return), spawn $ XMonad.terminal conf) -- %! Launch terminal ---
[ ((modMask .|. shiftMask, xK_Return), spawnf $ XMonad.terminal conf) -- %! Launch terminal
diff -rN old-xmonad/XMonad/Core.hs new-xmonad/XMonad/Core.hs 30c30 < getAtom, spawn, spawnPID, getXMonadDir, recompile, trace, whenJust, whenX, ---
