yes, I suspected that, but couldn't find anything myself - bad google-fu
tonight. Thanks for looking it up.

Indeed, the fifo is useless. Assuming the session is local, one could use
the pid part of the $STY/fifo name to get the initial session creation time
through /proc/$pid/stat... a bit hackish, but it should work.

I'll prepare a patch and see if it works out.

Jan
