Greg, if you want to limit your dmenu to executables, use this line
instead of the pipe-to-$SHELL:
exec $(dmenu_path | dmenu "$@")
I left the substitution unquoted, so you can still pass arguments to
commands which are run.
cheers!

To allow for shell expressions is a neat thing, and if you don't need
them, I can provide you with a patch.
I did look into this topic another time, actually. I think I had
modified dmenu_run to use exec in some way on one of my installations,
but I appear to have currently misplaced it.
cheers!

I can type `exec firefox` instead of `firefox` to avoid this, bu
