I consider this a MAINTAINER^case-by-base basis. We've sent a lot of patches to GNOME upstream so they stop hardcoding /bin/bash and use env bash instead (or /bin/sh when possible oc). If people do stupid things with their PATH, then so be it -- *MUCH* more things will break from setting up a "stupid" path. Install plan9port and put /usr/local/plan9/bin/ in from of your path then have fun... I can tell you that many things outside of scripts from packages will break. -- Antoine
