This machine has been upgraded recently to Lubuntu 12.04 from 11.10. The OS is 64bit.
I had SublimeText installed, and it's the kind of software that you download it to a folder and run it simply by double-clicking on the main binary.
Now, I double click the binary file and it simply does nothing. No warnings, no errors. Also, when I right-click the file to view its permissions, click to Properties, it doesn't open the file properties dialog. Without errors or warnings, either.
In Terminal, i see that the file has -rwxr-xr-x permissions.
From the Terminal I can execute the software by writing: ./sublime_text
SublimeText was downloaded before upgrading. Now, I downloaded FileZilla to try with it, and it happens the same.
I have created a shortcut that executes ./apps/sublimetext/sublime_text to run the app from the desktop, and this way it works.
Does anyone have any clues and how to solve it?

Have you this problem with all of your binary files or just this one ? If the problem occurs with more of your binaries, that seems to be a problem with your desktop environment. Do you know which one your are using ? Put the output of
ls -l /usr/share/xsessions/here if you don't know. Once you'll know your desktop environment the problem must be an incorrect config file or a correct config file which doesn't match your preferences ^^ – Flinth – 2012-07-20T15:53:38.227thanks epingle, apparently, it has somehow been fixed automagically in some system update (??) – Tony – 2012-08-10T08:46:35.270
