Hi,
Where is the place to set the PATH, so if I would like to run a program in my $HOME/bin from the run dialog (Alt+F2) I do not have to give the whole path.
(The true reason for this question is: I do not want gnome-terminal be a login shell. Thus it reads not every time .bash_profile where normally the PATH and other global varialbes for a login session are set. So everytime I have to type: ~/bin/foo to run a program because it is not in the PATH).
GDM sources ~/.profile as part of Xsession. Therefore, all subprocesses of gnome-session inheirit the environment set up by GDM/Xsession.
You need to rename .bash-profile to .profile.
