I'm not running xfce, but it does texmaker 3.0.2-2 on amd64 does > find the environment variables if I run it from a terminal window. I doubt it is a desktop problem, but for the sake of at least try another desktop, I just launched gnome instead of xfce4 and it fails the same way, when launched through menus and/or launcher. From a terminal, as you well know, user's environment variables have already been declared/exported and therefore texmaker finds them: in this case, it works fine. Is it not the responsibility of the executable to load the user's variables ? [Or execute itself as a 'child' of a user environment 'process']. If you think it is not a texmaker problem, then I personally believe it is probably a scripting/development language problem, but not a desktop one [MHO]: texmaker should find and, for example, be able to write in a /tmp/file, just for the sake of demo, user's env variables before to even load and use Qt, don't you think ? Many thanks for such a quick first response, I am looking forward to read you, and hope this will be debugged very soon, Cheers, David -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
