[Thunar-dev] Thunar in xubuntu edgy launched with wrong settings?

[Jelle de Jong]

Hello,

I now believe this is not a thunar related bug but xubuntu edgy can
someone confirm this?

I have done some more debugging and simplified the debug test:

You have to make the script (attached to mail) executable first!
chmod +x ~/scripts/thunar/print-file.sh

Test 1:
1: Open a terminal like xfce4-terminal or xterm.

2: execute the script with or without arguments:
~/scripts/thunar/print-file.sh
~/scripts/thunar/print-file.sh *

This should give you a working script with color lines and no errors.
Correct?

Now the debug test 2:
execute this command in your opened terminal:
xfce4-terminal -x ~/scripts/thunar/print-file.sh
xfce4-terminal -x ~/scripts/thunar/print-file.sh *
xterm -e ~/scripts/thunar/print-file.sh
xterm -e  ~/scripts/thunar/print-file.sh *

This will deliver me a failing script, what the hack is wrong here?

If my intuition is correct this is going wrong:

Normally when opening a terminal it will load env variables and then
execute the script in the bash shell.

Now it will create the shell in the script and it is missing a lot of
settings that is letting the script fail.

I made a test for that by adding the following command in the script
printenv > printenv-thunar.txt

That way you can compare the files between test 1 and test 2

Can someone confirm my findings?
