Description
I am not sure if you want me to open this as an issue here, and if not, that's ok.
I have been playing with launching Emulationstation from within your launcher, as I had mentioned I would do on the clockworkpi forums. Emulationstation will launch from X by itself, but when I try to launch it within your launcher, it seems to switch right, but it blanks the screen. Killing emulationstation doesn't return it either, you have to restart X. Right now, it runs from a gnome-terminal session because I have been playing with retropie which needs a terminal in the background for some things. I can run it without the terminal and it does the same thing.
Here is a readout ofthe log from the launcher
