Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: gdm
I have a bunch of stuff in my ~/.xprofile (PATH setting, etc.) that
seems to have stopped working recently. Has the Xsession file
/etc/gdm/Xsession recently stopped processing this file, or has a file
been removed from /etc/X11/Xsession.d that sourced ~/.xprofile?
The help text for /etc/gdm/Xsession says:
<term>BaseXsession</term>
<listitem>
<synopsis>BaseXsession=<etc>/gdm/Xsession</synopsis>
<para>
This is the base X session file. When a user logs in, this
script will be run with the selected session as the first
argument. The selected session will be the
<filename>Exec=</filename> from the
<filename>.desktop</filename> file of the session.
</para>
and my configuration is:
$ grep BaseXsession /etc/gdm/*
/etc/gdm/factory-gdm.conf:BaseXsession=/etc/gdm/Xsession
/etc/gdm/gdm.conf:BaseXsession=/etc/gdm/Xsession
/etc/gdm/gdm.conf.dpkg-old:BaseXsession=/etc/gdm/Xsession
So why's this all of a sudden not working any more?
Certainly I can add a file to /etc/X11/Xsession.d/ but surely we all
should not have to to maintain this past behaviour.
