If you log in then your environment should be defined.
What is your comment on the method I posted, have your .bash_profile source your .bashrc ? That way you have a consistent environment every time, irrespective of whether I am at an xterm or VT or simply running some GUI app from a menu or icon. (I am of course assuming my desktop environment sources my .bash_profile, as it should, when I login :) )
Would you say that is a proper way to do things? -- Suvayu Open source is the future. It sets us free. -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Communicate/MailingListGuidelines
