tsclient path problem
Hey there,
When I launch tsclient from the K-Menu launcher and hit connect, it spawns /usr/local/bin/rdesktop. When I run it from within a bash shell, I get /usr/bin/rdesktop, which is what I need/expect.
Is there some path setting in kde that I am missing?
KDE is 3.5.3-0.4.fc5

Does the menu entry actually point to /usr/bin/rdesktop ? Run kmenuedit, select the menu entry and check what it executes.

No, it points to /usr/bin/tsclient. Why would the path to the rdesktop binary be defined in tsclient's menu entry?

Sorry, a misinterpretation on my side. Maybe it helps to set the work path to /usr/bin inside the menu entry?

It doesn't . Perhaps there is a way to enable verbose logging or something like that. Normally i'd run the app from a terminal to debug, but it works there...

It could be the $PATH variable, that /usr/local/bin is earlier given than /usr/bin . I don't really know where KDE gets the $PATH from though.

I would agree, KDE must have a default environment that it launches apps in. I just have not yet figured out how to set it and i'm beginning to think it's a compiled-in thing...
