Derek, sourcing .profile makes perfect sense. You can't rely on having a
terminal or really being interactive or anything else _anyway_, and in
practice, long experience shows that sourcing profile in Xsession
actually doesn't cause any problems in practice. Display managers should
_always_ source
Sigh. Display managers should NEVER source .profile at all... that
file is exclusively for interactive shells, as is explicitly stated in
all of the man pages of every shell ever. I just opened Bug #1468832
about this, where I also explained how to properly accomplish what
people want here.

Same happens with kubuntu vivid and sddm. Should this be fixed
individually in each session manager?

Right. While that works in Ubuntu too, sourcing of /etc/profile and

If it is Ubuntu policy that '~/.profile' get sourced by the display
manger, all the display managers should do it and the sample file should
not indicate it is intended for the login shell.

Sounds unlikely to me; it should be sourced in /usr/sbin/lightdm-
session.
Please note that this bug was closed 2.5 years ago. You may want to ask
for help e.g. at
You are right. I thought it was not sourced since I was getting an umask
different from that set in .profile. But in fact, I am experiencing
another bug, where upstart messes the umask set in .profile. Sorry for
the noise.

I thought this was catching me (on oneiric) but it turns out that the
only variable that wasn't taking effect from my .profile was
LD_LIBRARY_PATH. And that seems to be due to bug 47958.

Debian/Ubuntu packaging, not upstream:

Note that profile is for login shells, it might not be a good idea to
source it from DMs, even though gdm does it. PATH might have to be
handled differently.

Can anyone tell me if this issue relates to a problem I'm having.
Basically, my .xmodmap file is not being loaded when I log in (I'm
running Oneiric with lightDM). I know there's nothing wrong with my
xmodmap file because it works perfectly well in other releases, but it's
ignored in Oneiric.
@Rrrrube
When using GDM, ~/.Xmodmap is loaded by /etc/gdm/Xsession irrespective of
/etc/profile and ~/.profile, so I'd suggest that you file a separate bug.

Whether or not you expect it, they were sourced under GDM, so this
