When I set my login shell to be /bin/ksh and login from the xdm screen
using gnome or kde, it doesn't run my .profile.  I'm running
pdksh-5.2.14, which came with my Linux Mandrake v6.1 distribution.   If
I switch to another virtual console (<crtl><alt><F2>) and login, it runs
my .profile just fine.  If I login using "login danl" in an xterm, it
also runs my .profile.  The passwd file entry looks like:

danl:x:551:551:Dan Lauterbach:/home/danl:/bin/ksh

I verified that /bin/ksh is listed in /etc/shells.  The system profile
(i.e., /etc/profile) is being run just fine.

How can I get this to work?

Thanks,
Dan
