It is different in gnome and i3. In gnome .zprofile is sourced in all terminal emulators (default config, execute as login shell is disabled): gnome-terminal, terminator, termite. i3 does not. That's why I thought that might not be a terminal emulator problem. Maybe gdm does something strange here… > For i3, the case might be a bit less clear or obvious, since you > haven't stated what terminal you use and how that one is set up. > One possible solution would just be to source .zprofile on login > through .xinitrc or whatever starts i3 for you.
