[KDE not honoring system or user PATH statements]

I had same problem as yours, I found that in my Debian system PATH was set at /etc/gdm/gdm.conf
Hope this helps.


Indeed. In /etc/kde3/kdm/kdmrc:

# The PATH for the Session program. Default is
# /bin:/usr/bin:/usr/X11R6/bin:/usr/local/bin


And my path: [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/etc/kde3/kdm:> echo $PATH /bin:/usr/bin:/usr/X11R6/bin:/usr/local/bin


Looks like a match.


I did another test; when KDE is started via startx, the path is as I would expect. So it's only when KDE is started from KDM (and presumably Gnome from GDM according to your experience) that the system/user path is ignored in favor of KDE's choice.

I don't guess this could actually be considered a bug, but it does seem wrong.

/Rant
A few days ago I posted Off-Topic that the new KDE was pretty nice. Now that I've used it for a few days, I'm beginning to remember why I like icewm so well. Little things, like this, and like the Debian menus disappearing off the KDE menus so you can't find "non-KDE-approved" apps, etc.

Thanks for the clue!
