Hi,
A quick question for you - do you start KDE using KDM? I was having the
same problem, I needed a way to set up some env. vars so that apps
started from the KDE menu would pick them up.
Can you tell me where you got the idea of using /etc/X11/Xsession.d?
I am also wondering why the command to source .bashrc code is not there
by default. Even if not everybody uses bash, there could be .kdeshrc
file in $HOME that could have a single variable $MYSHELL informing KDE
about the users default shell. Then the code in
/etc/X11/Xsession.d/whateverfile could just execute code to source the
correct env. vars file.
Thanks,
Andy
