It is rather frustrating that the Plasma Krunner (Alt-F2) does not
follow the path configured in $HOME/.profile. If the user has a
wrapper function for /usr/bin/firefox in $HOME/.bin/firefox and
$HOME/.bin starts the path, Konsole will open the firefox wrapper but
Krunner will open /usr/bin/firefox.
The lead Plasma developer mentions that the user can configure the KDE
path by placing an executable in ~/.xinitrc
https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=263883
However, it "doesn't work". Googling the issue I see lots of people
asking and the answer is usually to configure the path in
.bash_profile or .profile. That does not work in KDE 4.x, I assume
that it worked in 3.x by the age of those posts.
So, what is the correct syntax for configuring the KDE path in
~/.xinitrc? Thanks!
