[PC-BSD Testing] Running program from runports and KDE menu?

[Jeff]

First I tried the menu command: runports /usr/local/bin/pencil

Isn't that the same thing?  Where is the .desktop file?

Jeff,

It should just work if you update the .desktop file to use :

"runports /usr/local/bin/pencil"

By default anything you pass as argument 1 to runports, will get executed in a runports environment, and should work.
