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.

Along the same lines as http://gitweb.freedesktop.org/?p=xorg/xserver.git;a=commitdiff;h=26e84bcd52ad633c6b5261501f39cd225d84ef82

The following patch does the same fix for /A/U/X11.app


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?
