It looks like it might depend on the login manager/window manager. KDM allows you to set some things like PATH and LD_LIBRARY_PREFIX within /etc/kde2/kdm/kdmrc but it also seems to set some of its own, GS_LIB, for example in /usr/bin/kde2 /etc/profile is for "Bourne compatible shells (bash(1), ksh(1), ash(1), ...)." which doesn't include X :) maybe a little more info about what environment you are running under, KDE, GNOME, etc, also are the users using startx or [X|K|G]DM? -Mark
