That's correct.  Obviously Adobe Reader performs some kind
of sanity check on the path (if one is given), and for some
reason it always prepends /compat/linux in that case.

No linux application does this, it's the kernel. It tries with the compat path first and then with the normal path. I don't know why it does not work in acroread, I never investigated this issue. An application should not be able to know if the command is from compat or not. I'm a little bit puzzled, but not puzzled enough to investigate further. Maybe Roman wants to have a look at it as part of his SoC 2007 work... :)
