Well, turns out the --noprofile option idea does NOT work. What I had missed in man bash, The Bash Reference Manual and BASH_BUILTINS, until this morning, is that a login shell is not interactive, i.e. started from a script such as Xsession, the startup files WILL be executed. I could find no way around this. So, it appears that conditional path modification is the only viable option, short of major surgery. Cameron's rant is on point, IMHO. John -- John P.
