Edit /usr/share/config/kdm/kdmrc as root and remove the extra of both of these 
if you wish. The "::" certainly bring back to the single ":"

You can  find some more scripts potentially modifying PATH under 
/etc/profile.d. On my system, msec.sh and local.sh (the latter modified 
by me) actually change the PATH.

	I don't particularly like the fact that I the "//" and the "::" are  a part 
of $PATH.  I can't seem to find where these are inserted, however.

	I use BASH and I can't find these items in /etc/profile, ~/.bash_profile or 
~/.bashrc.  As far as my limited knowledge is concerned, /etc/profile is the 
first file to be considered, and it adds /usr/X11R6/bin, so I guess the 
question is where is $PATH defined before /etc/profile?

	I'm using 9.1.
