Bug#471450: kdm: does not pass exported environment variables to programs

[Roman Cheplyaka <roma@ro-che.info>]

Package: kdm
Version: 4:3.5.9.dfsg.1-2
Severity: normal

Here's my setup:

~/.environment:
export PATH=/home/feuerbach/bin:$PATH

~/.xsession:
source ~/.environment
pgrep fetchmail || fetchmail

In ~/.fetchmailrc I have MDA set to 'mda', that is, my script located in
~/bin/mda. This perfectly worked with xdm, but when I started to use
kdm, fetchmail can't find 'mda'. So I make the conclusion that kdm does
not pass exported PATH variable to fetchmail.

(In this particular case I can write down the full path to mda, but
anyway this behaviour does not seem correct for me.)
