Re: [gnome-desktop-testing] Missing path when running ./bin/desktop-testing

[Eitan Isaacson <eitan ascender com>]

I agree this is an issue. I am not sure what the right thing to do is.
I think it might be smart to put the executable in the root instead of
in bin, that way it will also be more straightforward, and no further
path hacks would be necessary. But the question remains, is this
package supposed to be installed? I never tried installing it.
