--------------------------------+------------------------------------------
 Some Linux distributions (like mine) don't use the "standard/debian
 application paths". Normally "/usr/bin/env ${app}" does the trick on most
 obscure systems.

 So changing the interpreter in Browser/execdesktop from "/bin/bash" to
 "/usr/bin/env bash" would be the solution.
