I wondered if you would say this :-) Okay, then as an exammple, take a non-root user who has no interest in running games and so does not have /usr/games in their $PATH, but they run XFCE and want tips: It is xfce4-tips's responsibility to adjust $PATH for *its* process or to be specific about which 'fortune' to call, not the user's. The user's responsibility ends with adjusting $PATH for *their processes* or being specific about which 'xfce4-tips' they call. > Nevertheless, improving xfce4-tips to call /usr/games/fortune instead > would indeed be better.
