Bug#250765: kdm: never spawns a login shell; thus ~/.bash_profile is never read



Package: kdm
Version: 3.2.2-1
Severity: normal

I hope this is the right package to file this bug.

On all KDE systems I administer, ~/.bash_profile is never read.
Thus, any entries in there -- quite a few in the case of
a programmer -- are never read. I think this is because KDM never
spawns a login shell, and Konsole doesn't either. Could this please
be fixed? There are a lot of reasons why kdmsession or the like
should be started as a child of a proper login shell.

Thanks,
