IF that was meant to be "Why"

They do not behave the same.

If you rebuild lazarus, and you are NOT admin/root, then you may not 
have filesystem permission to write Lazarus exe to the original 
location. So the new IDE will be in a new location, and the old one be kept.

Startlazarus will then start the new one. Lazarus will still star the old.

Of course, if you are admin/root or your installation is in a place 
where you do have permission, then both may work.

Startlazarus may also be needed internally for restarting the IDE...
