kdm and use of /etc/profile



Hi!

It has been discussed a few days before how to setup kdm to use a login shell:

in /etc/kde3/kdm/Xsession change the first line from:
#!/bin/sh 
to
#!/bin/bash --login

ok.

i wonder if this should be the default (it seems to be default for xdm/gdm) as 
some packages need /etc/profile sourced. For example jumpnbump ;-)
It installs a binary into /usr/games/jumpnbump, but without a sourced 
/etc/profile, the starter script availabe via debians menu system is not able 
to start the game... Maybe there are many other affected packages?

Regards
Henning
