defunct bash processes can accumulate. This relates to
how subordinate processes are spawned by MIWM. I'm not
sure how to fix it, but grep for 'spawn' and 'exec' in
the source code to find where the problems originate.
i'd like to think that it would solve the problem, but it doesn't do
any special handling of child processes, so it probably has the
same problem as miwm currently does. i don't know enough about
the low-levels of exec/system/popen to know how to fix this yet.

sgb's "class which is used for spawning off subshells using a
variety of techniques" might be the solution

Fixed and tested: defunct processes no longer linger.
