OK, sorry if I've been rude, now I understand the problem and I think
you both (Kai and Stefan) are right. Do you have some link or more
information so I can send to the package maintainer?
Maybe help me to describe the problem with enough precision. I like the
way Stefan points it:
"it's got to do with envvars not being inherited
everywhere. It can screw up any program in any
number of ways".
Thanks for your help

The problem is that you put "export CVS=ssh" into some shell init file
(~/.bash_profile or ~/.profile, I guess) and that it didn't take
effect for programs started under Gnome or whatever you're using.
At least that's my understanding.

The problem has nothing to do with CVS_RSH, it's got to do with
envvars not being inherited everywhere. It can screw up any program
in any number of ways. Typically you get problems like
"I can start `foo' just fine from the shell, but Netscape says it
can't find it"
