I was wondering why there's no $HOME/bin directory and $HOME/bin not mentioned in the $PATH variable. Any particular reason not to have that by default?
It should be there, but some kind of bug prevents evaluation of ~/.bash_profile (which adds this directory to $PATH).
$ echo $PATH /home/ensc/bin:/usr/lib64/qt-3.3/bin:/usr/kerberos/bin:/usr/lib64/ccache:/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/games
<press alt-shift-f2 -> starts the xfrun4 "Run program" application) $ ps wwwe `/sbin/pidof xfrun4` 4220 ? Ss 0:00 /usr/bin/xfrun4 --daemon ... PATH=/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/games
It's probably some kind of undebuggable d-bus interaction :( Hence, use xterm to start your applications, but not this buggy desktop crap.
