2008-07-28 16:33:57 Juan Ignacio Saitua description Binary package hint: kdelibs Hi, This is the situation: - I have myapp in /usr/bin/myapp and in /opt/bin/myapp - I also have myapp_entry.desktop in /usr/share/applications with the Exec line as "Exec=myapp" - I added /opt/bin into PATH (editing /etc/environment). So PATH has the following: /opt/bin:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/games Now, when I launch "kdialog --msgbox `echo $PATH`" using ALT+F2 it shows correctly: /opt/bin:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/games When I launch "myapp" using ALT+F2 it runs /opt/bin/myapp as expected. But, and this is what I think is a BUG, when I launch "myapp_entry" using ALT+F2 it runs /usr/bin/myapp and not /opt/bin/myapp as I would expect. My system: Description: Ubuntu 8.04.1 Release: 8.04 kdelibs: 4:3.5.9-0ubuntu7.1 I asked about this issue on kde-linux mailing list (http://lists.kde.org/?l=kde-linux&m=121706343932070&w=2) , then I reported a BUG mainstream (https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=167502). Maybe this is a kubuntu only issue, I'm not sure, so this is why I'm posting it here too. Sorry if this is not the way to go. Thank you.
