Program not accessible in KDE for only one user
All members of my family have their account on our PC. Everyone uses "backintime" for their automated backups. "Backintime's" settings can be reached via the start menu -- lately only for three of us, my daughter's access is impossible since KDE doesn't find the program / application.
I checked the groups -- identical for son and daughter, son get's his regular backups, daughter doesn't.

Thanks for the tip. "Unfortunately" I couldn't use it, since the problem had gone away all by it's own. I looked at $PATH of course but couldn't see anything amiss. Probably I'll never find out what caused it in the first place, but I'll keep your suggestion in mind, just in case. Thanks again.

I guess my daughter had only played and so no files were changed. Backintime does nothing when no files were changed. I presume that this caused the "problem".
