           Summary: KDEInit does not launch programs properly in OS X
           Product: kdelibs
           Version: 4.1
          Platform: Compiled Sources
        OS/Version: unspecified
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: kdeinit
        AssignedTo: kdelibs-bugs at kde.org
        ReportedBy: illogical1 at gmail.com


Version:            (using KDE 4.1.2)
Installed from:    Compiled From Sources

https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=75492 seems to be related to this but only
by the symptoms preseted. 
The problem is that kdeinit does not manage to launch applications associated
with files when these files are clicked. For instance, if I click on a text
file expecting kwrite to launch i get a pop-up which says: 

"KDEInit could not launch 'kwrite'.:
Could not find 'kwrite' executable."

"KDEInit could not launch 'kompare'.:
Could not find 'kompare' executable."

On OS X, KDE programs live within bundles. it seems kdeinit is not given the
correct location of the executables. 
kwrite for instance would be in kwrite.app/Contents/MacOS/kwrite
