[Solved] gmrun & Openbox menu can't launch program but bash can.

Hey there.

Got myself a bit of a confusing problem. I recently installed the latest of Natron, in /opt/Natron, and added the path to the PATH variable in the .bashrc file,  and i can launch it if I'm on bash, but gmrun and the Openbox menu can't locate the executable when I try to launch it from there. Which is weird, because when i was adding it the Natron directory to the path when it wasn't in the .bashrc, i could then launch Natron just fine from gmrun. Anyone know why this is the case? Any help is appreciated.

.bashrc is only sourced when starting an interactive shell, whereas .bash_profile is sourced when you log in. Try adding the PATH export to your .bash_profile, then log out and back in.
