Comment 6 for bug 576243

Thanks for testing! Here's the SRU request:

/usr/lib/R/site-library/Rcmdr/etc/linux/Rcmdr.sh is installed with mode 644, which makes the link from Apps|Science fail complaining about its being unable to create the child process for the console window.

This bug has been addressed in Debian by cherry picking a new .desktop file from upstream

A patch that syncs with debian is attached to comment #4.

TEST CASE: try to start rcmdr through the GNOME menu

Regression potential: none, since it won't even start now.

This does not need to be fixed in Maverick, since the autosyncer will automatically fix it.
