I solved the problem you described with environment variables by actually including them in my .xsession file. (In order to accommodate a variety of WMs my .xinitrc just calls .xsession, so everything gets the same environment.) Setting those things in .xsession isn't elegant, but it works, and ensures that the WM/DE itself has the same basic stuff (such as PATH) as my shells do. hth, Doug
