No sure about how realplayer10 is being done. But I believe realplay is in /usr/bin. When desktop file Exec is being invoked, it search through that binary in the users's PATH. If /usr/sfw/bin comes before /usr/dist/exe in your PATH, then that is the copy will be launched. I believe this is what you experienced. To make sure that you uses the version in /usr/dist, you have to say: Exec=/usr/dist/exe/acroread7 or put /usr/dist/exe before /usr/sfw/bin in PATH. Though I think this is a bad idea as you don;t know what other version of exe you are picking up. -Ghee > > >This message posted from opensolaris.org >_______________________________________________ >desktop-discuss mailing list >desktop-discuss at opensolaris.org > >
