Music doesn't play if you don't launch from the terminal #76

If I launch the current version of Taradino from my KDE Plasma application launcher (or from Dolphin or any other file manager) there is sound, but no music. If I launch from the terminal, there is music and sound. I can only assume this has something to do with SDL_Mixer, or maybe something to do with user privileges. Not sure.

I figured it out. I use the KDE Plasma desktop environment, and when launched from the .desktop file, the SDL_SOUNDFONTS environment variable wasn't set. It seems like SDL_Mixer + Fluidsynth relies on this variable exclusively to find the sf2 file? Anyways, adding that to my Plasma-specific environment variables list fixed it.
