Hello all ! I have a strange problem in KDE on SUSE 6.4. In a console application ( konsole,xterm,kvt ...) if I give a command like this : echo $PATH I receive a list with all directories in path. If I make the same thing in Alt+F2 command window ( echo $PATH > a_file ) the answer is other ( the list of directories contain just the standard bin's directories ). Why KDE don't use the PATH variable ? If I try to make a link on the desktop to a application (the path to executable exist in PATH !!) doesn't work only if I specify the full path. Can anybody help me ?

It is simpler then you think. Quiz of the week: What shell do you use if you run a echo $PATH > a_file from alt-f2 ? Think about it.
