Bug#276234: xterm lost $HOME/bin and $TMPDIR



But what I do not understand is, that it was working up to the UPGRADE.

If i login onto the console, I have my $HOME "/home/michelle" AND 
$PATH "/home/michelle/bin:/bin:/sbin:/usr/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/X11R6/bin"
which are set by my ~/.bash_profile

Now if I 'startx' the two variables are availlable in fvwm2 (2.5.10)

Now if I call a 'xterm' as non-login-shell fvwm leaves the two 
variables to 'xterm' which was working for years. 

If I login via a DisplayManager, I set the $PATH inside the ~/.xsession
and it was working to like the login from the console.

Now it does not more work ansd you say, that you are upstream. 
So you are not the Package Maintainer of xfree86/xterm. 

Maybe they have changed something in 4.1.0-16woody2 or 4.1.0-16woody3

Installing a clean system from CD and runing the test are working fine.
Please note, that my $HOME is a nfs-mount and always the same.
So I have no errors in my Configs.

Please can you check it out with the package Maintainer ?
I am not the only person with this problem...

(and I have the same problem with my InternetCafee runing 20 WS)

Greetings
Michelle
