Thanks for the suggestion but that doesn't seem to be the problem. KDE comes up with the error message "Couldn't find the program <NAME>" where <NAME> is the name of the file I have clicked on. The only one that runs is the firefox installer's shell script. I'm not too hot on shell scripts but firfox script appears to work from the . directory which should mean that it will run where ever it's installed. I have had reason to suspect some sort of parameter passing problem in kde with mouse clicks before. Path length / working directory ???? So: I have just got it to run by creating a link and working directory etc with the kde menu editor. It does run from the menu so why doesn't it run from a click?
