Hum, I could have sworn that it did not used do this, and there should be a
signal(SIGUSR1, SIG_IGN);
line in there to stop the first hotkey dieing. If you look in wmtuxtime you
will see such a line.
Stupid thing is if I now role up an update to toshutils, it won't be
acceptable for stable because it is new upstream version, despite being
just bug fixes :(
