[Bug 227416] tcsh $PATH misses directories and differs from sh $PATH

Sorry you misunderstood Werner. The broken tcsh $PATH setting does not contain
/usr/X11R6/bin/ or /usr/local/bin. This means that programs placed into either
of these directories will never be found. This is a bug, not an enhancement, so
it would be appropriate to correct the bug priority. SUSE has rpms in 10.2
which place executables into /usr/X11R6/bin/, this is not a bug, merely still
using previous convention. In no way will SUSE beable to control non-SUSE rpms
placing executables into /usr/X11R6/bin/, one more reason not having
/usr/X11R6/bin/ in $PATH for some more time is a bug. This was a bug in 10.1
too, but it didn't show because some other directory which was in $PATH was a
symlink to
/usr/X11R6/bin/.
Likewise, not putting /usr/local/bin into $PATH is a bug.
Dito I see tcsh behaviour being different from bash as a bug (see the script
fragments in comment #1), and I wish you would too :)
