           Summary: 'could not find the program ...' on shortcut activated
                    program
           Product: kwin
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: Compiled Sources
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
        AssignedTo: kwin@kde.org
        ReportedBy: kde@spatium.org


Version:           4.1.85 (using Devel)
Compiler:          gcc version 4.4.0 20081218 (experimental) (GCC)   
OS:                Linux
Installed from:    Compiled sources

1. go to systemsetting, input actions
2. define a keyboard shortcut that launches a program* (eg. meta+x ->
/opt/firefox/bin/firefox)
3. apply/confirm/etc
4. press the shortcut (eg. meta+x)
5. firefox is launched AND kde displays the dialog box:
could not find the program: <program name here>

* the program is actually a wrapper script that launches the real program (in
this case, firefox) and immediately exits. this is IMHO what tricks kde into
thinking that it could not find the program. programs that stay running (eg.
xterm) will not trigger the message.
