Back to the original problem, as reported in post #3 and #7. The fact is that 
in many cases, we can successfully test a task by clicking "Run selected task", 
but then, in real life it won't run.
Two main technical reasons:
1) The test is PATH-aware, the real task (using cron) is not
2) The test is insensitive to the output mode ("Default" or "X application"), 
the real task is not

I think this is indeed a bug worth to be fixed.
At least, the message that appears when testing a task should be improved 
("Note about working directory of executed tasks", it is confusing.) 
Additionally, the "Run selected task" function should be improved.
