Interesting. Which WM(s)/DE(s) do/does that apply to? 'alias | wc -l' produces
same result here whether in vtty or in Konsole, whether root (53) or ordinary
user (22), my self-created aliases are all in ~/.bashrc, and except for
(non-existent) /etc/bashrc I have no reference to any other startup or other
script in ~/.bashrc.
