rbash is a restricted shell. In particular, it prevents the user from
calling:

    /usr/bin/tellico

The idea is to force the restricted user to use whichever tellico (or
other application) is in the administratively-defined PATH, rather than
a user-definable path.

So, for example, "tellico" would run if it were found in the PATH, but
"/usr/bin/tellico" would not even if /usr/bin were part of the PATH
environment variable. In short, the user may not specify a full
pathname.

I think part of the problem is that tellico is calling KDE functions
like klauncher (whatever it does) using a full pathname, rather than
relying on the PATH environment variable. Is this the case?
