Version: (using KDE 4.0.3) Installed from: SuSE RPMs OS: Linux When setting a menu entry to start in terminal mode, the started process does not run into the directory chosen by the "work path" option. The same is true when editing manually .desktop files: if Terminal=true, Path variable is not used. You can quickly reproduce this behaviour by creating a script: echo `pwd` >> /tmp/touched And then creating a menu entry for it, setting a "work path" value. Run it first without selecting "run in terminal", the checking it. I'm using opensuse 11 Live cd kde4 20080430 i386.

This is a KRun issue. I've sent a patch to k-c-d for review, so hopefully this will be fixed in 4.2, and possibly 4.1.1.
Fixed in r845368 (trunk) and r845369 (4.1).
