Review request for kde-workspace and David Stephen Hubner.
Bugs: 327382
http://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=327382
Repository: kde-workspace
Description
-------
ReadPipe() doesn't return 0 as expected in the case that the command is not found. \
but the length of sh's output which is "command not found" in this case. This is \
because popen() does not fail if the command is not found, because it _can_ run "sh". \
(according to the man page, popen calls "/bin/sh -c command") To fix this, ReadPipe() \
should check the return code of the call to pclose() (see "man pclose"), and return 0 \
if this is not equal to 0.

Testing
-------
Run KInfocenter on openSUSE, where lspci is in /sbin and that is not in the user's \
path. Without this patch, 3D Accelerator will be shown as "unknown" (because lspci \
cannot be run, with this patch it works as intended. I also tried with lspci in \
/usr/bin/ (i.e. in the path) and completely removed, worked as expected (correct \
information in the former case, "unknown" in the latter).
Thanks,
Wolfgang Bauer
