Tangential, but I wanted to correct this. Based on a quick browse of startx in stable, it doesn't look at your .profile or .bashrc at all, and, to the best of my understanding, shouldn't. There ought to be a way to set environment variables for your X session, but AFAIK, nothing is portable across all X environments. I have in my .gnomerc the following test -e $HOME/.profile && . $HOME/.profile exec /etc/X11/gdm/gnomerc but obviously different measures will be needed for different environmewnts. I have taken care to put in my .profile only stuff I want in all plausible environments, and source it from the pertinent startup scripts for X, bash, sh, etc. /* era */ -- formail -s procmail <http://www.iki.fi/era/spam/ >http://www.euro.cauce.org/ cat | more | cat<http://www.iki.fi/era/unix/award.html>http://www.debian.org/
