Make dmenu sensitive to user aliases ("Hello world")

Hi there,

I'm using many aliases in my terminal sessions and want to be able to use  
them with dmenu
(which I use as the default menu in all of my xmonad installations) aswell.

Is that possible? I haven't gotten a real chance to look at the code yet  
(just downloaded it).
I'm a total noob when it comes to actually modifying C sources so I  
thought that I should
fire off a request in the offchance somebody has already done that or can  
point in the right
direction.

regards,
Kiriakos

Just a guess - in dmenu_run, source the file that defines your aliases,
before doing anything else.

I'm using scripts where I once used aliases, mostly because it's far
more convenient to write or alter a script than to update an alias or
function in all my open terminals. These scripts, like aliases, are
only run interactively so there's no slowdown to be seen at all.
Obviously, they'd work natively with dmenu.

On another note entirely, would you mind not wraping your text so wide,
please? My eyes aren't too good so I use larger text, and anything
wrapped over about 75-80 columns double-wraps which is unpleasant to
read. It's not just you, there's quite a few people wrapping their
emails too wide.

??? something like?

update_config() { [ `mtime $cfg` -gt `mtime $history` ] && . $cfg ; }
export PS1='`update_config`> '

Revised BSD, ISC, and MIT licenses are all suckless in my book, or as
suckless as they can be without being public domain. So to answer your
question, yes.

There is now a simple man page in the source repository, and a copy of
it on the wiki, hope that helps.

I have not tested it with windows 2000. I did notice some significant
slow downs on windows xp though, but those have hopefully been fixed.
You might try a couple different versions of the exe to see if it is an
issue with all of them.

For the record, it's been changed to the ISC license.
