[pass] xdotool dmenu

[Ryan Delaney]

Nice work. I've been working on something similar, though I haven't integrated
dmenu yet. This gave me some ideas. :) 

One question. I've been having issues with passwords that contain
non-alphanumeric characters: xdotool seems to simply skip them rather than type
them, unless given an xkeysym string. Have you encountered that issue? Any
workaround?
