Public bug reported:

Hi I would like to tail some files using the output screenlet, but here
is what happens:

"top -b" and "tail -f" kills the poor output screenlet. It just hangs
entirely.. The screenlet includes "top" as a preconfigured command, so
in principle the output screenlet should be capable of doing it..

Also when I enter "tty" I get "not a tty", but that is not the problem.
Even such a script as "sleep 2; echo 2" kills it.

Some more info is given in this post

Using screenlets 0.1.2 on ubuntu 10.10 with metacity WM.
