That may be because the desktop does not know your specific PATH setting. (Only
your sh knows).
To set it for the desktop, create the file "~/.pam_environment". (This expands
the file "/etc/security/pam_env.conf" on your login. Should be there, but maybe
is empty)
The syntax of this file is described in "man pam_env". For examples look into
"/etc/security/pam_env.conf"
Define the PATH like this (On my ubuntu):
PATH OVERRIDE=/usr/local/texlive/2011/bin/x86_64-linux:${PATH}
provided the path to your latex is the same
