Hello Marc, Did you read the first lines of /etc/profile? In short: better use /etc/profile.local instead of /etc/profile. But modifying /etc/profile in itself probably is not the cause. Are you sure the changes you made do not contain syntax errors? Any errors reported in /home/<username>/.xsession-errors, and/or /var/log/Xorg.*.log?
