xdm isn't messing with the path in the way that you think. xdm is it's own login prompt.
Thanks, that's a really good explanation. Same to Simon from the other reply. I still don't understand why they wouldn't use the standard login procedure and build the environment from there, but whatever.
OK, so now I'm convinced that xdm and gdm aren't as evil as I thought, how can I configure them to mock my /bin/login procedure? Where are the config files?
Now xterm is another story. While it can (and does) have its own environment, that environment should be in addition to the shell environment and not in place of it since it is just a vehicle for running the shell, not replacing it.
I agree. Given that it's going to happen whether I moan about it or not, do you know where the xterm configuration takes place.
