So I'm working on stuff here, and I accidentally right-click on an rxvt window, instead of left. This kills the window.
Well, since bash is a total piece of shit, this kills all the child processes.
So 12 emacs windows, 17 mozilla windows, 4 gimp windows, and 5 xsane windows all disappear, leaving me with a totally empty screen.
"ohhh, you little piece of shit, you're gettin' a beatin' NOW!"
After 10 hours at work today, I am not in the mood for this sort of thing. Not at all. I'm pissed enough to make it my personal mission in life to fix this crap.
You MIGHT think there's an option to turn this off, like csh, ksh, zsh and anything else non-prehistoric have evolved. Or, failing that, you MIGHT think there's a compile-time option for it.
Nope.
It's screwed me like this before, and I've had enough.
So I wander around with Google, and see many many people have complained about this fact, and how it screws them to the wall all the time. And I see the developers either ignore them or tell them to piss off.
THEN I go into the source, find the goddamn function that kills everything, and stick a "return" at the very beginning and recompile the fucker!!
Fire up mozilla. Right-click on the window. Window dies. Mozilla however, does just fine.
THERE. FIXED. Don't MESS with the man with the SOURCE.
Anyway, you'd think I'd be in a better mood. I got my title for the bike today, showing it's all paid off. One of the things I was trying to do was scan in a copy of the title.
I wish I could have a loan-paying-off party or something, but I guess I'll settle for shredding all the left-over payment coupons and burning the shreddings. Unless somebody else has a better idea.
