absulete shot-inthe-blue-wild-guess:

	it's no longer in $PATH , so it is not found when invoked without
/opt/gnome/bin  in front of it ?

Try "echo $PATH"

drifter@LunaLounge:~ < echo $PATH
[..snip..]:/home/drifter/bin:/opt/gnome/bin:/usr/bin:[..snip...]

If /opt/gnome/bin is not among the named dirs, you propably found
the first problem...   :)

You would then have to add this to the path set for users via
/etc/profile.
Realize that there are two sections, one for users with id=0 and another
for "all users".
