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

Tue Dec 26 15:04:33 CET 2006

Hello,

We found the problem. It appears that xubuntu now follows a stricter
shell interpreter.

I had my shebang bin bash a few lines below my commends. But that is not
as the rules read. You must put #!/bin/bash at the very begin of every file.

#!/bin/bash
