Hi,
thanks for your input!
Could you try ‘~/.bashrc’, please?
In that case, emacs still doesn't recognize the new environment
variables, but of course, any terminals I start withing exwm do.
Still,
this doesn't really solve the problem. Anyway, I am currently
working
around the issue by setting the variables manually in my init.el
using
setenv, but I would still be interested in learning the proper way
to
set environment variables in a gdm+exwm-setting.
By the way, ~/.bash_profile does get read, and I can e.g.
autostart
programs by putting the respective commands in ~/.bash_profile.
However,
environment variables set in ~/.bash_profile are not recognized by
emacs.
Regarding my second question, it seems that the nix service is
already
setting some of the nix-specific environment variables, but
doesn't
change general ones such as $PATH. So maybe the feature I
suggested is
already implemented, but they took care not change $PATH by
default
because of the reason you mentioned.
Cheers,
Dario

Two
questions:
1. What is the proper way to do this? I am using gdm and exwm,
and
adding the line to any of ~/.profile, ~/.xprofile, ~/.zprofile,
or
~/.bash_profile does not seem to have any effect in exwm.
Probably GDM doesn't read those files by design.
Could you try ‘~/.bashrc’, please?
2. Couldn't the nix service take care of this automatically?
I'd be
happy to contribute a corresponding path once I have the answer
to my
first question.
Probably yes, and the patch is welcome! ;-) Just one
consideration - I
think it should be optional, in case the automation will brake
because
of Nix update or highly customized system.
Regards,
Oleg.
