Fedora 12, Gnome 2.28.0 I have an application that I need for drawing syntax trees in linguistics. It is a java application and the command is: java -Xmx256m -Xms64m -jar TreeForm.jar The TreeForm.jar archive resides in /home/jjj/Software. If I use the command line and change directory to /home/jjj/Software, then execute the command, the program launches and all of the buttons on its menu appear. If I launch it from someplace else and use the command: java -Xmx256m -Xms64m -jar /home/jjj/Software/TreeForm.jar The buttons do not appear. The TreeForm folder contains a subfolder containing images of the buttons. For some reason the application finds the folder when it is launched from the command line inside the /home/jjj/Software/TreeForm folder, but not if it is called from outside that folder. This is very strange, but it doesn't matter to me as long as I get the buttons. I opened Alacarte to create a launch item. It launches, but without the buttons. The command I started with was: java -Xmx256m -Xms64m -jar /home/jjj/Software/TreeForm.jar In an attempt to fix the problem, I changed the command to: cd /home/jjj/Software | java -Xmx256m -Xms64m -jar TreeForm.jar However, this gives me an error message 'failed to execute child process "cd" (No such file or directory).' I'm trying to get the launch menu command to change to the directory first, then launch the .jar archive. Apparently I haven't got the syntax quite right. Clicking on the Help button in Alacarte gives me 'The requested URI "ghelp:user-guide#menu-editor" is invalid.' Can anyone help? _______________________________________________ gnome-list mailing list gnome-list@xxxxxxxxx http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gnome-list
