I'm not sure it's the "correct" way but you could use this: sh -c 'xmessage "$PATH"'
The reason yours didn't work is because $PATH is a shell script variable reference and lxpanel's run dialog doesn't use the shell to parse the command string. The command above works by explicitly asking the shell to interpret the string. On 05/02/11 12:59 PM, Brian Winfrey wrote: > I was trying to determine $PATH for X.
