Workaround is to put it into .bashrc which works for me. I mean to put it in .xsession. .xinitrc will be ignored by any session that is started by a display manager (because it's xinit's RC file). If you do it that way, does it work? No it doesn't work too. My ordinary way is to log into console and type startx (and in that case .xinitrc is used). Jan

Well, the X server wrapper is setuid root. I hope you can appreciate the grave security implications of letting users redefine the dynamic loader's search path in the context of a process running with root privileges. I didn't realize that, thanks. I also tried to start X with xinit command but with same result. After return from X variable is set right. LD_LIBRARY_PATH is needed by java to point to directory /usr/lib/jni used for non-java libraries such as libJavaEditline.so. Why don't you set up your user session to set the variable how you like?
