I'm taking a look into this now. Thanks Peter! I think the best idea would be to read env['SHELL'] - if that exists then check if we are allowed to execute that file (and that it exists and is not a folder). If it is not a valid shell then just do what is done when no env['SHELL'] is set - use /bin/sh as shell Best regards, Peter -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe.

Bug#565491: [fluxbox] Doesn't start programs
Package: fluxbox Version: 1.1.1-5 Severity: normal I have a machine running thightvncserver as user program. As window manager fluxbox was choosen. When I now make a right click on the background the application menu pops up and I can click on any menu entry. but then the program doesn't open. I tried with several programs, but no one works. I tested also openbox and it seems that it works there. Is there any debug option I can use to get more information from fluxbox? -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble?
