Maybe in .xsession or .xinitrc?
The "mangle" was in /etc/X11/xdm/xdm-config. I fixed it manually. But I am not inclined to munge the X11 files myself so it's a little "spooky".It's a minor problem but I think it may have come up immediately from my last upgrade yesterday. I found it only in root, which I don't often use. So it's entirely possible that it's been there for as much as a year.
