Hallo, David M hat gesagt: // David M wrote: > One point though if somebody knows how to set global environment variables > that work within the point and click environment within kde (.profile doesnt > seem to work) I certainly would like to know. You might try to add those to /etc/environment as KEY=VALUE pairs, then add something like this to ~/.xsession and /etc/profile: # If /etc/environment is present, source it. It's useful to put default # environment settings in this file, and then source it both here and in # /etc/profile. if [ -f /etc/environment ] ; then . /etc/environment for n in `grep -v ^# /etc/environment | cut -s -d= -f1` ; do export $n; done fi # I also use this for my own env: # # if [ -f $HOME/.environment ] ; then # . $HOME/.environment # for n in `grep -v ^# $HOME/.environment | cut -s -d= -f1` ; do export $n; done # fi I never used KDE, but I assume, it uses ~/.xsession or something similar as well. It should honour /etc/profile at least. Ciao -- Frank Barknecht _ ______footils.org__
