Hi all,
has anyone else had this problem? Under Redhat 7.0 (haven't tried it with
7.1) and Mandrake 8.0 when I login through X, nothing sources my .login, so
my X session knows nothing about my path or my ENV variables etc.
It seems to be independent of display manager, it happens with gdm and kdm.
It also seems to effect both KDE and Gnome. All the other Redhats and
Mandrakes up until now did, it's very annoying. Which is the correct
behaviour? I presume since it's a login shell, KDE or Gnome or whatever is
supposed to respect your .login. Anyone know why this is happening and how
to fix it? Thanks,
Fergal
