Sure... because gdm isn't a shell, neither is metacity, or the panel, or any other part of Gnome with the possible exception of gnome-terminal, which pretends badly to be one. Thus, whatever shell init file you're setting up the environment in is being ignored. As it should be. When you open a "terminal window", they're not ignored (since the shell they're meant for is now running). -- Marc Wilson | Chemist who falls in acid is absorbed in work.
