zombies

[Jack Coates]

sorry for the time lag, just got back from vacation...

/bin/sh -c gcalc from a terminal doesn't cause a zombie. Clicking a
panel icon for xfrun and running gcalc from that causes xfrun to zombie,
but not gcalc.

Should have mentioned that this started after enabling the anti-aliased
font support and installing gdkxft :-(
