But that's rather inconvenient, open/close the media player is faster...
Did you actually call the script with sh script.sh or did you just paste the code in terminal? If you just pasted it, you did press enter after, so that the last line got executed, right?

I think the reason why the text doesn't get lost when BB is open is because the text is "safe" in the edit box and it gets written to gconf from there. If you were to close BB when the gconf value was "Updating..." and open it again, all your text would be lost.
