Little corection
for /path/to/exec/file/./MyExecFileName it hould be
/path/to/exec/file/MyExecFileName without ./ in front of you exe.

./ is only need if you want to run and the current directory is the one
your exe is in.

A copy is no need but a symlink and after every update of your program
works.
Second at my box a symlink in the /home/ron/bin works too.

For me another strange thing is in konqueror, clicking on the exe does not 
work, in Midnight commander pressing enter does.
For some reason konqueror does not the exe the way it should do.
