** Description changed:
Binary package hint: kdelibs
Hi,
This is the situation:
- I have myapp in /usr/bin/myapp and in /opt/bin/myapp
- I also have myapp_entry.desktop in /usr/share/applications with the Exec
line as "Exec=myapp"
- I added /opt/bin into PATH (editing /etc/environment). So PATH has the
following:
/opt/bin:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/games
Now, when I launch "kdialog --msgbox `echo $PATH`" using ALT+F2 it shows
correctly:
/opt/bin:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/games
When I launch "myapp" using ALT+F2 it runs /opt/bin/myapp as expected.
But, and this is what I think is a BUG, when I launch "myapp_entry" using
ALT+F2 it runs /usr/bin/myapp and not /opt/bin/myapp as I would expect.
My system:
Description: Ubuntu 8.04.1
Release: 8.04
kdelibs: 4:3.5.9-0ubuntu7.1

reported a BUG mainstream (https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=167502).
- Maybe this is a kubuntu only issue, I'm not sure, so this is why I'm
+ Maybe this is a kubuntu only issue, I'm not sure, so that's why I'm
posting it here too. Sorry if this is not the way to go.
Thank you.
