Re: kdm sourcing .bash_profile?

Hi!

 I know I've seen this discussed before but I couldn't find it in the
 archives.  I have these lines in my .bash_profile:

   if [ -d ~/bin ] ; then
   PATH=~/bin:${PATH}
   fi

 When I login on the console it behaves as expected.  However, when I
 login using kdm I don't get ~/bin in my path.  What was the prevailing
 opinion on how to solve this?

When you login with kdm the bash_profile is not read, because kdm is not a 
'login shell', like, for example, bash. To make kdm a 'login shell' (and 
then, it reads the bash_profile), look up your 'Xsession' file and change the 
first line by this:

#!/bin/sh --login

and below and this line

source $HOME/.bash_profile

For more information (because the definition of 'shell login' y said could be 
wrong), 'man bash'...


Regards,
Ignacio.
