Still the same behaviour

I think it is something to do with splitting the event line up into parts...

I put an echo at the start of the while loop that reads each event line:

# Open /event for reading
wmiir read /event |
# Read the events line by line
while read line; do
    echo reading line from event: $line

    # Split the line into words, store in $@
    set -- $line
    event=$1; shift
    line = "$(echo $line | sed 's/^[^ ]* //' | tr -d '\n')"

And the output after one press of Mod4-p is:
reading line from event: Key Mod4-p

and then after a second press the menu is displayed and the following is
displayed:
Key Mod4-p

I don't even know where this second echo is coming from, hmm...
