.bash_profile is only run by login shells. When you log in using ?DM, it doesn't run a shell. If you want to run programs at X login, use .xsession (but be sure to add: . /etc/X11/Xsession at the end if you don't want to be locked out of your computer.) -- The world's most effective spam filter: ln -sf /dev/full /var/mail/$USER -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
