Quick question for folks:

I've got a DR800, but I'm running DR800+ to get the tab functionality, etc, from the DR1000. How does a program get put in a new tab, vs running in the main (explorer) tab?

I ask because, for example, rxvt shows up in the explorer tab. If I don't explicitly exit the terminal, it is still running in the background when I try to switch back to the home screen (I know because the on-screen keyboard doesn't disappear, and when I start rxvt up again I see all my previous commands). I've looked a bit into the source for rxvt and the xournal port (which does end up in its own tab), and the only thing I've noticed so far is that the xournal port uses the IPC stuff. Is that the key?

Thanks,
