The bug we're discussing now - not reading ~/.profile - has been known for 2 years. Nobody had to wait for "real world feedback" to learn about it. Since I'm a free software developer myself, and know about the whole "scratch my own itch" philosophy, I'm led to conclude that *nobody* from the entire Gnome team, nor from the entire Fedora team involved in testing Wayland, is actually using ~/.profile. Otherwise this bug would have given them a tremendous itch. For me, realizing that was both surprising and depressing. Are none of you using a shell? Are none of you doing things in ~/.profile (or your shell's equivalent)? Am I the only person left in the world who wants to set his own PATH, his own CDPATH, his own GZIP and LESS options, HISTSIZE, PAGER, and more and more? Or, perhaps anyone just caved in an moved all their environment variable settings to ~/.bashrc (which continues to work), despite decades of Unix books warning against that for anachronistic performance reasons?
