Version: (using KDE 3.5.8) Installed from: Ubuntu Packages OS: Linux When I create a Desktop shortcut that has its "Command" set to "firefox" then /usr/bin/firefox, even though PATH=/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin and entering "firefox" on the commandline (bash) starts /usr/local/bin/firefox. A desktop shortcut (*.desktop file) with Exec=[command] should execute exactly the same file as when I issue "[command]" in a shell. In particular, I expect KDE to respect my PATH environment variable, i.e. if PATH=/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin and there are executable files /usr/local/bin/firefox and /usr/bin/firefox, then a Desktop shortcut with the command set to "firefox" should execute "/usr/local/bin/firefox" and _not_ "/usr/bin/firefox".
Sorry, I missed part of the first sentence, it should read: When I create a Desktop shortcut that has its "Command" set to "firefox" then /usr/bin/firefox gets executed when I click the shortcut, even though PATH=/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin and entering "firefox" on the commandline (bash) starts /usr/local/bin/firefox.
Is this reproducible on KDE 4?
waiting for info
Hello! Sorry to be the bearer of bad news, but this project has been unmaintained for many years so I will be closing this bug.
