The place to set up stuff like this is the ~/.xsession. When you log in from kdm/gdm/xdm etc the x startup scripts call the system wide xsession which should call any .xsession file in the users home directory. Some distros vary the name of .xsession so just check that as well. This will ensure the env vars are valid for the kdm/gnome etc session as well as the shell. -- Robin Cornelius http://www.byteme.org.uk -- The Mailing List for the Devon & Cornwall LUG http://mailman.dclug.org.uk/listinfo/list FAQ: http://www.dcglug.org.uk/linux_adm/list-faq.html
