Stephan, Since "login" doesn't tell you if bash exited with an
inappropriate exit code, and hell, even bash won't do the same.

In any case, Stephan, kicker doesn't tell you the exit code of any GUI
apps.  And, furthermore, Stephan, "Exit Code 1" is rather meaningless to
most people, and those that actually do care could just as easily turn it
on if they want.

Indeed, Stephan, that's my primary reason for disliking it.
