thx - so the culprit is likely in the .crm again.

argh!... ehm ... at min, I'd _append_ everything else than 'standard' PATH,
instead of prepending, unless you _known_ you _want_ the other way, for 
_some_ _specific_ path.
PATH for root is esp. bad IMHO: it's unlikely you want to play games as 
root(!), also X11 is seldom needed - and so better call the app with 
fullpath in case.
I'd _never_ ever use wildcard search path, esp. for root of course.
Debian defaults to your preset PATH: local 1st, then system, then (usually)
stuff gets _appended_.
But for a server, and esp. for root, I keep system 1st, then local, then
any single _explicit_ path needed, but usually it's simply system + local; 
anything else must be explicitly called with fullpath.
