The problem is that when user logins with xdm (or some xdm replacement), no login shell is run. Seems to be a bug. Several distributoins are affected, including Debian. It could be fixed by changing the first line in /etc/X11/xdm/Xsession from #!/bin/sh to #!/bin/bash --login Maybe this fix shoul go to the xdm package ? ----- End forwarded message ----- -- G.
