Dear gtypist maintainers,

When starting gtypist without terminal input, eg. from a window manager by dmenu_run or some other exec mechanism, gtypist goes into a busy loop and consequently eats all CPU while running in the background.

This happens because get_widech function returns ERR, but it is not checked in cursmenu.c:359 and infoview.c:274.

Simple patch against current git master attached for your consideration. It may not be the best solution overall, but should fix the immediate problem.

This is on GNU/Linux machine running X11 (Xorg) and fvwm. In fvwm's environment, TERM is set to "linux".

Thanks,
Petteri
