I have this again.

I have a file vroom.py in my $PATH.
I open "run as" and type "vroom.py" and select terminal.

Guess what, ubuntu would try to open the page www.vroom.com in firefox!!!

that's not a bug, .bashrc as its name indicate is a bash configuration, you should set the path in the environment if you want it to be used by random software
