Ahh, I've been doing it over serial/ssh..
For lxterminal (which doesn't reference .profile according to lots of
bug reports). It works if i add:
# set PATH so it includes user's private bin if it exists
if [ -d "$HOME/bin" ] ; then
PATH="$HOME/bin:$PATH"
fi
into .bashrc
If there is no objections i'll probably set that up by default..
