           Summary: kdeinit problem launching programs in /usr/games
           Product: kdelibs
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: Debian testing
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: kdeinit
        AssignedTo: bastian kde org
        ReportedBy: pkg-kde-bugs-fwd lists alioth debian org


Version:            (using KDE KDE 3.3.2)
Installed from:    Debian testing/unstable Packages
OS:                Linux

If you try to run a program located in /usr/games (such as kpat or most other kdegames), by launching them from the "Run Command" dialog, then the program runs, but the Run dialog doesn't disappear as it does normally. Rather, it stays, and then when the game is closed, you get a pop-up saying "KDEInit could not launch '/usr/games/kpat'" (or whatever the program), and only after you click OK does the Run dialog vanish.

The problem also occurs when you drag the relevant Kmenu entry to the desktop, and create a link. Running the game from this desktop link works, but again, when the program is closed, a pop-up appears, "KDEInit could not..."

It seems that though /usr/games is now part of the default path, something somewhere needs an update to fully take this into account.

This bug was based on the verified information in Debian bug reports #270592 and #290323.
