problem starting applications with full path

[Sebastian Reitenbach]

Hi,

on OpenBSD I have the problem, when I start applications with the full path 
i.e.: /usr/local/bin/Terminal, then the application doesn't find its resources. 
I used ktrace to figure out, that the Resources are searched in 
/usr/local/bin/Resources/Terminal/Resources.

/usr/local/bin/Terminal is a symlink to: 
../libexec/GNUstep/Terminal.app/Terminal

In /etc/GNUstep.conf, all GNUSTEP_*_APPS (not including the GNUSTEP_USER_*) 
point to /usr/local/libexec.

When  I run configure for GNUstep base, it also looks good, the output on the 
beginning, showing all the paths, points to /usr/local/libexec.

The rootPath is /usr/local/bin/Resources/AClock, in frame 2 I see that the root 
path is taken from [self bundlePath], which returns the value of the class 
variable _path. I unfortunately didn't figured out, where this one gets set, 
and actually why it gets set wrongly.

All is fine, when I call the application as: 
/usr/local/libexec/Terminal.app/Terminal, or just Terminal, using the PATH 
environment varialbe to find it in /usr/local/bin.

I run the latest releases of gnustep core, also no difference, whether I source 
GNUstep.sh or not.
Why do I need to start with the full path? GWorspace Tools/Run... menu, when I 
enter the Application name there, it determines the full path, and then uses 
this to start the application, which ends up with this problem for me.

Anyone has a hint what could be my problem here?
