Good idea, but here follows what issues this command on my terminal:

sawfish 1.3, Copyright (C) 1999-2000 John Harper
sawfish comes with ABSOLUTELY NO WARRANTY; for details see the file COPYING

Enter `,help' to list commands.

"arf""arf"

Apparently there is no way to disable echoing (shouldn't the -q
option be supposed to do it?).

Another problem is that in this way you can't pass argv variables.

Cheers.
