3. The expected behavior is that .bashrc is called on login on desktop
if the user's shell is bash. Please standardize and specify
documentation with regards to the expected workflow for initializing
an environment and executing .bashrc on desktop login.
4. What occurs is that lightdm-session is called with sh (dash
presumably) and the provided .bashrc are not called because ligthdm-
session is non-bash non-interactive shell.
It was addressed here, but there is no explanation specific as to the
logic of this behavior and the contemplation regarding it is perhaps
inadequate as it was not immediately apparent to the responders what
was happening though it should be quite obvious as environment
initialization is quite important:
