I (or rather the maintainer of bash or base-files in this case) put that stuff into .bash_profile to be executed when I log in. That's why I would like it executed when I log in. If my shell was tcsh I would like the tcsh setup scripts executed when I log in. > > Apart from the .xsessionrc file that just got added, there is just no > config file that is loaded for all X sessions automatically.

I do not want this to be a variable for my X clients. I want it to be a variable for my login sessions, graphical or not. I cannot put it into .bashrc because it would probably not get executed for the X session anyway, and my path would probably grow insanely in every make script as nested shells are executed. Even the bash man page advises against that. Thanks Michal -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
