Desktop Sharing

[fitz]

While trying to use Krfb Desktop sharing with my preferred email application, Thunderbird, I get the following error message

Could not launch the mail client:

KDEInit could not launch 'thunderbird%20%25u'.:
Could not find 'thunderbird%20%25u' executable.

Thunderbird appears to be working quite normally....so not sure where the problem lies.

Re: Desktop Sharing

Sorry for the delayed response. I think (I could be completely wrong) that your problem is that KDEInit is NOT trying to launch "thunderbird", It is trying to launch "thunderbird %u"! In ASCII hexadecimal 20 is a blank and hexadecimal 25 is '%'. "%u" is a variable that substitutes something for the %u (I forget what, offhand).

That's a perfectly reasonable thing to do, but, apparently, KDEInit is not parsing the command line properly.
