Great!  That shows that bash is evil :).  Ok fix will be easy, since
everything that starts under xwem getting origin from
`xwem-execute-program', it will unset EMACS environment variable, and
revert value back after execution.

Yes i expected this, but `M-!' and `H-!' isnt that good to run
process, because:

   - spawns additional shell

   - blocks

`H-!' is only useful to do some nifty things like:

  * `H-u H-u H-! date RET' - insert date to current client.

  * `H-! xdpyinfo RET'     - view X display info in special XEmacs frame.

Thanks guys!
