On Debian and openSUSE, the default Xsession for KDE is /usr/share/xsessions/kde.desktop,[1] which contains the line "Exec=/usr/bin/startkde". This causes /usr/bin/startkde to be run to bring up your X environment. On both those systems, /usr/bin/startkde does not read ~/.bash_profile or ~/.profile. (Its she-bang line is "#!/bin/sh".) It is working as designed. Ignore JRT, he's wrong, as usual. ;) :P j/k -- Boyd Stephen Smith Jr. ,= ,-_-. =. bss@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx ((_/)o o(\_)) ICQ: 514984 YM/AIM: DaTwinkDaddy `-'(. .)`-' http://iguanasuicide.net/ \_/ [1] For KDE 4 on openSUSE, it is currently /usr/share/xsessions/kde4.dekstop that might be changing since KDE 3 won't be in 11.2, I think.
