Ok, probably an annoying FAQ, but this is something I've always wondered about - what is the right way to deal with the lack of a proper path when .xsession is executed? For example, if both .xinitrc and .xsession contain the same thing (in this example "exec startkde"), startx will work fine but xdm will bounce back to the login box because it can't find whatever is being executed. It seems pretty kludgy to modify $path in .xsession, but that seems to be the only way to make it work. Simply specifying a full path to startkde doesn't help because the support files fail to be found. The other thing I don't understand is why .xsession was created in this unusable state after installing KDE. Anyway, running 3.2-RELEASE, XFree86 3.3.5... - Steve K.
