No, kdm does not read your ~/.bash* files by default since it is not a 'login shell'. See also: http://www.kde.org/documentation/faq/configure.html#id2913380 AFAIR there are two ways to change that behavior: - change in your Xsession file the first line from #!/bin/sh to #!/bin/sh --login - include the following lines in your Xsession file: if [ -r $HOME/.bashrc ]; then . $HOME/.bashrc fi -- LuMriX - XML Search Engine - http://www.lumrix.de/ -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
