hi,
yes ssh'ing - is that verb? - into my user account from a local console does 
show /usr/games, but only because i've added /usr/games to my users's 
.bash_profile, with that there kmail also recognises 'fortune' as present, it 
still doesn't show up in the path as echoed in konsole.
when i remove the reference in .bash profile, then /usr/games won't show up in 
any circumstance and kmail fails to find 'fortune'
