IMHO, it is better to insure it is in your path than to give an explicit
path on your button. From a theme-building point of view, it is far less
desirable to have explicit paths on buttons.
Take, for instance, Netscape (since thats what this discussion is
revolving around...:). Over the course of time, I have had versions of
Netscape which resided in /usr/local/bin (when I grabbed it from Netscape
and installed it myself), /usr/X11R6/bin (when I was using Netscape
wrappers to try to stabilize version 3.x), and /usr/bin (where RedHat's
RPM places it by default).
So making sure it is in the path makes things a lot easier.
Just my two cents,
