From: Nikita V.Youshchenko <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: Branden Robinson <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: A question about Debain xdm package Date: Sun, 1 Apr 2001 16:19:51 +0400 Message-Id: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Hello, Branden Many people in comp.windows.x.kde newsgroup report that when they start terminal windows under their KDE sessions, they find that the variables that are exported in their /etc/profile and ~/.bash_profile, are not set. The problem is that when user logins with xdm (or some xdm replacement), no login shell is run. Seems to be a bug. Several distributoins are affected, including Debian. It could be fixed by changing the first line in /etc/X11/xdm/Xsession from #!/bin/sh to #!/bin/bash --login Maybe this fix shoul go to the xdm package ? ----- End forwarded message ----- -- G.
