Hi,

I actually believe that on some distros .bashrc/.profile is sourced by default
on gdm, and on others, .xprofile is used for this purpose. I don't think a login
shell or interactive shell should be used for this purpose though.

Perhaps what could be done would be to allow build environment variables to be
customized in Geany?
