A general problem under Linux (and it's hundreds of distros). That is
why I think it is so important to support freedesktop.org and LSB
Foundation (Linux Standards Base). They are trying really hard to
resolve these problems, *plus* make it easier for software developers
to integrate there applications. Luckily the most popular distros
(covering probably 90% of linux usage) do try and follow those
standards.
