** Description changed:

  Binary package hint: kdelibs
  
  Hi,
  
  This is the situation: 
    - I have myapp in /usr/bin/myapp and in /opt/bin/myapp 
    - I also have myapp_entry.desktop in /usr/share/applications with the Exec 
line as "Exec=myapp" 
    - I added /opt/bin into PATH (editing /etc/environment). So PATH has the 
following: 
/opt/bin:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/games
 
   
  Now, when I launch "kdialog --msgbox `echo $PATH`" using ALT+F2 it shows 
correctly: 
/opt/bin:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/games
 
   
  When I launch "myapp" using ALT+F2 it runs /opt/bin/myapp as expected. 
  But, and this is what I think is a BUG, when I launch "myapp_entry" using 
ALT+F2 it runs /usr/bin/myapp and not /opt/bin/myapp as I would expect.
  
  My system:
    Description:    Ubuntu 8.04.1
    Release:        8.04
    kdelibs: 4:3.5.9-0ubuntu7.1
  
  I asked about this issue on kde-linux mailing list
  (http://lists.kde.org/?l=kde-linux&m=121706343932070&w=2) , then I
  reported a BUG mainstream (https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=167502).
- Maybe this is a kubuntu only issue, I'm not sure, so this is why I'm
+ Maybe this is a kubuntu only issue, I'm not sure, so that's why I'm
  posting it here too. Sorry if this is not the way to go.
  
  Thank you.
