Sean: We had this exact problem when rolling out X2Go. Since X2Go doesn't actually spawn a login session, /etc/profile doesn't get sourced (and neither does ~/.profile).
To fix this for all users, we added a script in /etc/X11/Xsession.d/90read_profile that looks like this: # Source /etc/profile and $HOME/.profile # This should fix path issues in X2Go sessions if [ -r /etc/profile ]; then source /etc/profile fi if [ -r $HOME/.profile ]; then source $HOME/.profile fi To do this for just one user, you could theoretically put this same script in $HOME/.xsession - I haven't tried this myself. I hope this helps. -- Matthew L.
