[Conkeror] A few issues with spawning external editors

[John J Foerch]

Hi Axel,

  Just curious if there has been any change of status on any of the bugs
discussed in this thread.  I think conkeror now does attach stdin of the
editor to /dev/null/, though I haven't been following these issues
closely.

  Now a philosophical question: should conkeror even use the EDITOR
environment variable, or should it only use VISUAL?  Using EDITOR at all
seems too laden with assumptions about how well the machine is
configured.

  Just some thoughts.
