Setting PATH for desktop
I am a GNOME user giving KDE a whirl. I have several shell scripts that launch applications in a folder called $HOME/bin and $HOME/sbin. These I add to my path in my .bashrc file. In GNOME, when I run a program (Alt -f2) scripts in these custom directories are found as being in the path and run. However, KDE doesn't seem to look in these directories.
How does KDE set the search path for the run dialog? Thanks for the help.
I think only the environment of the loginshell is used.
if you source .bashrc in .bash_profile or add the export there as well, it should work as expected.

the contents of my .bash_profile file are as follows
[code:1][ -f ~/.bashrc ] && . ~/.bashrc[/code:1]
my .bashrc has
[code:1]export PATH[/code:1]
in it as well (among other things).
Hmm, this should work.
as a workaround you could add that sourcing command to the startkde script.
