Red Hat's Xsession script runs the .xsession as a login shell automatically. This will cause the user's .bash_profile or other environment scripts to be run as appropriate for the shell. I think it is the best method and one that Debian should also adopt. And all of this is documented in the quoted bug report. Bob
