Well what do you know? It works for me too. Looks like another advantage of
your method (on top of not leaking the password through the process list) is
that now xdotool can type passwords with special characters. Sure beats the
hack I had worked out using tmpfs and a lot of paranoia about making sure I
cleaned up the temp files. Now to build in dmenu :-)
