Are there any major changes needed, if you want to use that with bash,
cause I'm using gmrun too, and though the slow part I can handle, it's
something else that is a problem. I often need to run a program with
some shell variable set (most often it's LD_LIBRARY_PATH), and gmrum
does not allow it. BTW. I'm using urxvt too (like it, too).
