No I got no problems with your solution, I only wanted to ask you that
should I let this part:
# set PATH so it includes user's private bin if it exists
if [ -d "$HOME/bin" ] ; then
PATH="$HOME/bin:$PATH"
fi
Still be in .profile or should I delete it from it? If I am already
exporting my PATH in .xsessionrc
in one single line using export command just as you said.
