The environment is a thing independent from the shell being used, isn't it? This has always worked before. And I see it working on another machine here with an old 'props' (1.1.5.1) client. And I don't have any OPENWINHOME setting elsewhere on that machine be it in .xsession or in .profile. I don't have a .profile at all. (disclaimer: I'm not a csh addict at all, originally I prefer the bourne shell). > >> --Chris Christoph P. U.
