Look in the wdm man pages for a profile that wdm executes on startup (I would be very surprised if there wasn't one), in that file, source your .profile or .bashrc or both:
. $HOME/.profile Put the definition of HTTP_PROXY in .profile or .bashrc. Make sure you export it: export HTTP_PROXY=your.proxy Sorry, I don't have wdm installed and I couldn't find an on-line man page for it, so I can't give you the name of the wdm profile.

I need to set HTTP_PROXY variable (for Xemacs/W3). I found out that neither ~/.bashrc nor ~/.profile are parsed during login into GUI (I'm using wdm FWIW). I start Xemacs with a shortcut (not from an xterm).
