Re: launcher question

[Klaus Schusser <k.schusser@xxxxxx>]

Hi Ray (and the gnome list),

You could try this perl script until that Gnome bug is fixed:

#!/usr/bin/perl

while (<>)
{
    if (/Exec=(.*)/)
    {
        exit (system $1) >> 8;
    }
}

and pass the name of the desktop file on the command line.
The script looks for the text behind "Exec=" and executes it.
