Description Michel Samia 2008-05-16 13:29:10 UTC 
Description of problem:
While developing sectool, I found this: when I create and some applicaton and
then run it by consolehelper, the variable PATH inside the application's
environment contains directory /usr/X11R6/bin, which is no more used and doesn't
exist on most systems. So we can clean it.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
1.97

How reproducible:
Create such an application 

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Create the application (i.e. script printing $PATH)
2. create config file in /etc/security/console.apps for the application
3. create config file in /etc/pam.d for the application
4. create symlink to it
  
Actual results:
Application contains nonexisting directory /usr/X11R6/bin in PATH.

Expected results:
Application does NOT contain nonexisting directory /usr/X11R6/bin in PATH.
