But in fact if I edit and use the *same* desktop file it shows that your suggestion is working! So if I have this desktop file in ~/.local/share/applications it will work from the menu too: [Desktop Entry] Comment=Lazarus IDE 2.0.8 Terminal=false Name=Lazarus 2.0.8 #Entry below in order to secure setting up PATH correctly on start Exec=/bin/bash -l -c '/home/bosse/dev/lazarus/2.0.8/startlazarus --pcp=/home/bosse/.lazarus_2.0.8' Type=Application Icon=/home/bosse/dev/lazarus/2.0.8/images/ide_icon48x48.png Categories=Application;IDE;Development;GTK;GUIDesigner;Programming; NoDisplay=false Keywords=editor;Pascal;IDE;FreePascal;fpc;Design;Designer; Thanks a million for your help!!!! -- Bo Berglund Developer in Sweden -- _______________________________________________ lazarus mailing list lazarus@lists.lazarus-ide.org https://lists.lazarus-ide.org/listinfo/lazarus
