* show_menu now returns *nil* if nothing was chosen.
-* Reverted to silent logging & recovery from error... xmessage & terminal are annoying!

* Updated event loop for {wmii-3.1's /event overload bug fix}[http://wmii.de/pipermail/wmii/2006-September/002718.html].
* Added explicit termination of already running instances in *wmiirc* via Process.kill and `ps`, instead of using /event as a means of coordinating said task.
