> If you are talking about X session, it is completely different story.Sorry for not mentioning it. It was under X... I guess in that case I don't have a "login shell". So what would be the proper place to set variables for terminals running in X?
(I checked and .bash_profile *is* sourced if I log in in a virtual terminal. (bash -l also source it.))
The main reason I wanted to have the file sourced is to have the GTK_IM_MODULE variable set, which I need in X. I could set it in my .bashrc, but .bash_profile seemed the more natural place... (Maybe just my own ignorance...)
The odd thing is that at work my computer runs Fedora and my .bash_profile is sourced in X.
Best to all, Luis
