           Summary: .desktop file not honoring PATH environment variable
           Product: kdelibs
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: Ubuntu Packages
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
        AssignedTo: kdelibs-bugs kde org
        ReportedBy: jisaitua yahoo com


Version:            (using KDE 3.5.9)
Installed from:    Ubuntu Packages
OS:                Linux

This is the situation:
 - I have myapp in /usr/bin/myapp and in /opt/bin/myapp
 - I also have myapp_entry.desktop in /usr/share/applications with the Exec line as "Exec=myapp"
 - I added /opt/bin into PATH (editing /etc/environment). So PATH has the following: /opt/bin:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/games

Now, when I launch "kdialog --msgbox `echo $PATH`" using ALT+F2 it shows correctly: /opt/bin:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/games

When I launch "myapp" using ALT+F2 it runs /opt/bin/myapp as expected.
But, and this is what I think is a BUG, when I launch "myapp_entry" using ALT+F2 it runs /usr/bin/myapp and not /opt/bin/myapp as I would expect.
