By writing to a tempory file instead of /dev/null, I have been running Rosegarden thet otherwise just threw me out of the session. ( As an example ) Perhaps there are better ways to do this ? //ARNE -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Communicate/MailingListGuidelines
