Bug Description
Using the "add"-dialogue in the "eclusive applications"-tab doesnt show most of the programms e.g. in /usr/bin. it seems to be looking for certain extensions
Manual fix is editing cc_config.xml in data directory /etc/boinc-client and adding
<options>
<exclusive_
</options>

Good eye!
It doesn't look for "certain" extensions, it looks for *any* extension. And most of Linux executables do not have any extension.
The fix should be to change the filter pattern from "*.*" (which matches all files *with* an extension) to "*" (all files). Or, even better, to files that have the executable bit set, if such filter is possible.
