Funny zenity bug…

Try this (for instance):

zenity --title "Hello\!" --info --text "This is a funny bug\!"

Note that the \ is actually displayed after ”Hello”…

Another strange thing is that ”This is a funny bug\!” is displayed  
correctly, that is without the ”\”.

So I found no way to display a ”!” in the title line of a zenity dialogue.  
Is this a bug or is it just me?


If I omit one or both of the ”\” characters, I get the error message  
”bash: !": event not found”
