It is when ~/.profile is sourced from ~/.xsessionrc. The testing procedure is available on request but any response from me may be very slow to arrive due to the deep thought I am giving as to why 'export PATH=$HOME/bin:$PATH' in ~/.xsessionrc should not be the the definitive, untroublesome, uncomplicated and trustworthy way of getting a path set with lightdm. If you or anyone else have any thoughts on this it would be most welcome. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
