darcs patch: XMonad.Core: make spawn smarter
Thu Aug 14 18:42:17 EDT 2008 gwern0@gmail.com * XMonad.Core: make spawn smarter Have spawn examine $SHELL if it exists. $SHELL is the user's preferred shell, and may do many things the user wants but the default /bin/sh does not.

As seen by getEnv, it's just "SHELL". This code looks for $SHELL, which most shells other than rc will balk at creating. -- brandon s. allbery [solaris,freebsd,perl,pugs,haskell] allbery@kf8nh.com system administrator [openafs,heimdal,too many hats] allbery@ece.cmu.edu electrical and computer engineering, carnegie mellon university KF8NH
