Look at how the kde menue calls it, then do an strace the same way from the command line. For example from the command line I do mozilla but the MDKKDE menu calls soundwrapper mozilla (or something like that.) so if soundwrapper where bad or having trouble with mozilla it wouldn't show when I run it from the command line.
