Well, in /etc/X11/gdm/Sessions/Gnome, I find the following: ### Shell environment if [ -f /etc/environment ]; then . /etc/environment fi Although, interestingly, the other gdm session scripts (Debian, Xsession) do not have this. But at least the Gnome session script does indeed load /etc/environment. If pam uses it as well, that's good to know. Craig
