Hi Ignacio,

I'm glad you got things to work.

Make sure that you properly escape any strings you include here, in case you
do not hardcode it...

> 	char *env[] = {"PATH=/usr/bin:/bin:./usr/local/bin:/bin", NULL};

I'm not quite sure this is a good thing to do. Not inheriting the standard
environment may cause serious issues, like not being able to find programs
in custom paths, not being able to use the X display, or not being able to
use the DBus session bus, among many other things.
