Thanks Armin and Bruce.
Armin, I could not use your suggestion (my preferred one), because each
time an x-terminal emulator started, several error messages about not
finding patappend and pathremove appeared in the newly open terminal..
I recall that they used to be unset, and is not anymore, thought it was
/etc/profile that unset it, but was not. If I could find how to avoid
this problem, I would replace the fix I put in the book, and don't like,
by yours.

Hello Fernando,
I have added this to my ~/.bashrc
source /etc/profile
(Hmmm. Depends of course on how are the startup files organised. Some
folks chain:
{ /etc/profile (+) /etc/profile.d/ }
-- { ~/.profile | ~/.bash_profile | ~/.bash_login}
The order here is defined by bash and ~/.profile is the last option.
Also the syntax might be confused as a pipe. The actual sequence is:
if [ -e ~/.bash_profile ]; then source ~/.bash_profile;
elsif [ -e ~/.bash_login ]; then source ~/.bash_login;
elsif [ -e ~/.profile ]; then source ~/.profile;
fi
-- { ~/.bashrc }
Depends if it's a login shell or not. Of course is can be explicitly
sourced from ~/.bash_profile. etc.
-- { /etc/bashrc }
Only used if explicitly called from another file (e.g. ~/.bashrc).
; and at most perhaps call some parts of /etc/profile.d/ from the bashrc
stuff. But yes, I know that you're talking about what worked for you here.
The things that need to be set from ~/.bashrc are aliases and PS1. The
other unusual possibility is non-exported shell variables. ~/.bashrc is
only automatically sourced for interactive subshells.
If the profile files are set up properly, then /etc/profile should only
be called once at login. The issue is to make sure ldxm or other dm
does indeed run it.
