[Lcdproc] Lcdexec: SHELL environment variable not set

[Michelle Dupuis]

I made the change and it now works.  I don't know how to use the diff/patch
tools.  If you want to send me a few commands I'd be happy to submit the
changes.

I submitted some changes last Nov (2006) regarding the RPM start scripts
that never made it into the core

Is it ?
Patches welcome.

It's already in the CVS since 22nd of October 2006 (not the 0.5.x stable but
MAIN)

Browse through lcdexec.conf and look for Shell.
