I just did an upgrade install of FC4 over FC3 on my Dell Latitude
notebook. I can add launchers for programs that I installed from RPMs
and they work. But if I add a launcer for a program that I compiled
(./configure && make && Make install), the launcer dos not work. I
select "Run in terminal" and the terminal window flashes for a
fraction of a second and the app dies. Same exact response if I use
"Run Application". The particular app is "fgrun", a gui front end for
FlightGear. If I just type "fgrun" in a terminal, the app launhces,
but the launcher does not work whether I put it in a pannel or on the
desktop. This worked fine under FC3 on the same notebook. I just
tried several other non RPM compiled apps and got the same results.
Any ideas what changed from FC3 to FC4 that could cause this? Yes, I
updated FC4 with a very lengthy "yum update".
Thanks in advance for any help.

Did you give a fully qualified path name to "fgrun" in your launcher or
just the command "fgrun"? Where was fgrun installed? If it is not in
a location referred to in your PATH environment variable, it may not be
seen in the launcher....
