Re: lightdm (1.8.5-2 and -3) didn't run .profile .xinitrc ..... etc

Sorry, I retest my system. I think lighdm did run .xsession .

but I don't understand why it can't source profile?

I write this in my .xsessionrc
####################################

if ! [ "$SPPMG_PROFILE" == "y" ] ; then

export SPPMG_TEST="y"

source ~/.profile

expert SPPMG_RUN="xsessionrc"

####################################

the SPPMG_PROFILE set in .profile , so if sourced .profile , "$SPPMG_PROFILE" == "y"

In kdm , I get SPPMG_PROFILE , SPPMG_RUN and setting in ~/.profile

in lightdm , I get SPPMG_TEST , SPPMG_RUN, but didn't source ~/.profile.

Look like kdm will run .profile first, and lightdm will not , but I don't understand why I can't get effect in "source ~/.profile " . Maybe because "bash variable scope" .

So maybe it's not bug, just my mistake. :)

Thinks your help.

Is it somewhere standardized? If yes, then be free to fill bugreport.
If not, then different behavior is not a bug.

Be me knowledge the:

+ ~/.xsession is for Xsession customization (man xsession)
+ ~/.profile is for console logins (i am not sure now if local only or
remote too)
+ ~/.xinitrc is for xinit (man xinit)
+ purpose of the ~/.xprofile is unknown for me, it is not
sourced/executed in my system

The LightDM sources the ~/.xsessionrc file (for me).
