Well, I did a little more digging and I was mistaken. It isn't the punctuation in the file path that does it. It's the use of a fully-qualified path name starting at the root. Relative pathnames all work, full pathnames all don't. I can't invoke a relative pathname with a right-click but any such path I type in a Konsole as an argument to 'gv' works just fine, but typing a fully-qualified pathname in Konsole, or right-clicking (which also always uses a fully-qualified pathname) doesn't. I'm puzzled. Mike O'Brien
