Perhaps this is normal and I never noticed this on FC1. On my FC2 boxes my PATH is being reset when I go into X. Before I start X my path is: /usr/kerberos/bin:/usr/local/bin:/bin:/usr/bin:/usr/X11R6/bin:/usr/lib/jre/bin:/home/$USER/bin After starting X it is: /usr/kerberos/bin:/usr/local/bin:/bin:/usr/bin:/usr/X11R6/bin:/usr/lib/jre/bin The 'bin' folder in my home directory has been trimmed out. If I do a 'su - $USER' I get it back for that terminal session. I have grep'ed a most of the scripts called by 'startx' for 'PATH' and have not found the culprit. What is trimming my PATH?
