This happens to anything that you have more than installed more than once=20
in your system. For instance, I have a distribution-provided Skype and=20
one I downloaded (the latest version).

Your patch isn't solving that. Why don't applications simply tell the=20
session manager the path to their executables, or however they prefer to=20
be run?

Of course it isn't going to solve the problem for old applications, but=20
we'd be future-proofing against this problem happening again.

So, concluding: instead of saving the "kde version", save the command that=
=20
the application wants to be run with.
