I have 2 :) But on topic, I totally agree with Mike. OK, Possibly EDITOR and XSESSION are better suited to somewhere else other than rc, but atm that place doesn't exist, and imo doesn't warrant creation. /etc/env.d/ (when it comes to setting a default editor) just seems very odd to me. It's not easily managed from a package perspective. It can easily just throw some random behaviour. Of course, user specific EDITOR etc, is much better set in the appropriate ~/dotfiles. System wide, all we need is a workable default. -- Role: Gentoo Linux Kernel Lead Gentoo Linux: http://www.gentoo.org Public Key: gpg --recv-keys 9C745515 Key fingerprint: A0AF F3C8 D699 A05A EC5C 24F7 95AA 241D 9C74 5515
