Running subtle-hg from AUR, I editied the config file to launch dmenu. I pressed the combination, and it didn't launch, so I checked my config file, everything was correct. Just to make sure, I ran dmenu from a terminal, and I didn't see anything. I ran dmenu_run, and it showed up at the top of the screen like normal.

Depends on how you started it, dmenu itself reads CR separated strings from stdin and shows them and dmenu_run reads the $PATH variable and shows all found stuff then.

dmenu usage:

echo "foo
bar
quuz" | dmenu

Is there a workaround, or should a bug be filed, and where? (dmenu, or subtle?)

I don't consider this as a bug.

Thanks for the prompt response!

I'm still learning dmenu, and what you wrote was immensely helpful. Thank you.
