I'm currently working on a project that manages multiple notepad windows in a MDI client area. It runs just as I want it to, except that the notepad windows seem to freeze up and become glitchy...

Is there a way that I could have something typed into the command line upon creation? For instance, have it type "cd folder1" as soon as the xsession window is created.

Hi, I appologize for a lack of specificity, but i'll try my best to explain what i want to do. I want to write a program that will run other programs within a single window, so that they're neatly...
