Hm... X/xDM is started from a virtual console (mine is usually started from VC-7, which is the default). That's where your login should happen, so everything started after that should inherit the environment variables. I would assume gnome DE (everything related to) uses the same "tactic"... but given the gnome developers ms-windows fanatiscism I wouldn't be surprised if it didn't. Best regards / MfG Peter K
