- Hi, I have a script that start cmdtool, shelltool, etc using &; I run olwm
- last in the forground. I would like to put a maybe 1 sec or less delaty in the
- excecution of each of the tools so that olwm would get a chance to fire up.
- The problem is a matter of timing. I used to have olwm running with &; the
- widows start up more or less complete, with the border frames, etc. now I
- usually get naked, borderless windows cominig up first, a delay, then the
- frames. I find this be an aesthetically unpleasant sight. I like my windows
- to come up pretty much whole.

- thanx for answering,
