Did you edit the audacity menu item in the KDE Menu (Lower Left) to
point to your version? And, if you had a favorite item defined
previously for audacity, did you delete that as well?
I would think that audacity and audacity-2.4 are different programs,
despite the similarity of their names. However if I rename audacity-
2.4 as fred ($ mv audacity-2.4 fred) things work properly.
Audacity is not a favorite. The strangest thing is that when I attempt
to start audacity-2.4 from dolphin , "Other Applications" shows
audacity-2.4 as a possible choice, but when I click on it audacity (not
audacity-2.4) starts.
