Well for one thing, it fixes the problem where app_to_run contains
command line arguments. That was the main intent of the original
patch and I think is a valid enough reason for this as well.
As for the .Xresources issue. That was a problem I noticed with the
Applications menu as well. Before the patch referenced below, my
urxvt windows were using default settings as opposed to the color
scheme, scroll bar placement, etc that I have set in ~/.Xresources.
I'm not sure WHY doing a sh -c "..." causes that to work, but it does,
and it also has another beneficial effect for the command line
arguments.

Hmm. I can see this fixing $PATH issues, but how will it
fix .Xresources, unless you are somehow loading .Xresources from one
of your shell dotfiles?
