Re: Environment variables and X
Look in the wdm man pages for a profile that wdm executes on
startup (I would be very surprised if there wasn't one), in that
file, source your .profile or .bashrc or both:
. $HOME/.profile
Put the definition of HTTP_PROXY in .profile or .bashrc. Make
sure you export it:
export HTTP_PROXY=your.proxy
Sorry, I don't have wdm installed and I couldn't find an on-line
man page for it, so I can't give you the name of the wdm profile.

Hi all:
Where is the proper place to set environment variables, so that they
would propagate to X apps?
I need to set HTTP_PROXY variable (for Xemacs/W3). I found out that
neither ~/.bashrc nor ~/.profile are parsed during login into GUI (I'm
using wdm FWIW). I start Xemacs with a shortcut (not from an xterm).
Thanks!
