By default, Bugzilla does not search the list of RESOLVED bugs.
You can force it to do so by putting the upper-case word ALL in front of your search query, e.g.: ALL tdelibs
We recommend searching for bugs this way, as you may discover that your bug has already been resolved and fixed in a later release.

Proposed fix to starttde to not blindly place $PREFIX/bin first in the search path

Update starttde to be consistent with the changes made to tdelibs/tdesu/stub.cpp in bug report 766.

In the attached patch, the first snippet that is deleted is redundant and conflicts with the same $PATH environment variable test several lines later in the script.

The second change ensures the $PATH environment variable is consistent with stub.cpp, which places $PREFIX/bin in the path order just before /usr/bin and not blindly as first in the search path. If, oddly, /usr/bin is not in the search path then the script falls back to placing $PREFIX/bin first in the search path.

Some people want a more robust patch than the one proposed.
