Not to mention that this was hashed out to death on this list not so
long ago (6-10 months ago, perhaps?). Looking up that thread would be
of enormous benefit. of course, my own opinion is that none of the DMs
*should* be sourcing anything from shell-startup files. That's why the
user has the freedom to use ~/.x{session,init} --- let the user do it
for themselves. The easy work around, even without it is, is to get
your teminal emualator to spawn a login-shell.
