Wonder why? SuSE has patched su, so if you don't use "--login" (== "-") or 
"--preserve-environment", $PATH gets reset to the defaults, but ".profile" 
and friends are ignored. I think this is due to security considerations, 
having such a complex path may be a little bit risky.

An easy fix should be to a the complete path to gnomemeeting-config-tool 
(should be no problem, as prefix is already in gnomemeeting-config-tool.in).

PS: Translation support for gct is also broken if TEXTDOMAINDIR differs from 
the default path of gettext.
