i can probably find the exim testing options (didn't think to
look, of course -- thanks!) but "other debian tool" is a bit
vague. what would i apt-cache search for?

"want to experiment with it" means... what? :)

DEBIAN NEWBIE TIP #79 from Joost Kooij <joost@topaz.mdcc.cx>
:
When using a display manager (xdm, kdm, gdm) are your SHELL
DEFAULTS IGNORED IN X? Put
. ~/.bashrc
into your ~/.bash_profile so that new logins get not only the
login environment but also the shell environment; and add
. ~/.bash_profile
into your ~/.xsession, which makes sure that the X session gets
a login environment.
