I'm not sure if it is possible to fix this in the .desktop file. It is conceivable setting 'Terminal=true' in /usr/share/applications/texmaker.desktop would help, at the expense of spawning an extra terminal. I suspect the solution is to make sure the appropriate environment variables are set in your xfce or gnome environment. Typically this would be some file under .xonfig/xfce4/ ; there may be a gui way of setting this as well. It may also help to add the variable settings in $HOME/.xsessionrc I'm still mystified how this is working on i386; it would be a useful test to create a new user whose desktop environment is not customized and see if the environment variables are setup there for applications spawned from the GUI. d -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
