[SOLVED] pekwm - can't launch certain applications outside from termin

I'm currently using pekwm and I'm experiencing a strange issue.
I can't launch certain, random applications by keyboard-shortcut, the pekwm-command-launcher, the start file (pekwm start file and .xinitrc) and the menu.
But it works if I open a terminal and launch the application there.
The applications that don't open include chromium, tint2 and mpc.
Does anybody know how to make these applications launch everywhere?

I couldn't get tint2 to work at all in PekWM. I hope a PekWM guru takes notice of this thread...
