>Release:        FreeBSD 2.2.6-STABLE i386
>Environment:

2.2.6 as of a few days ago. I made world but didnt recompile X.

>Description:

I run xdm from /usr/local/etc/rc.d. I log in but my path is set to something
strange with /usr/gnu/bin in it. This path is apprently coming from
/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/config/FreeBSD.cf.

I tried setting up my path (and other environmental variables that also dont
show up) by setting them in my .xsession script. I also tried .login_conf but
that didnt work either.

>How-To-Repeat:

Just login using xdm.

>Fix:
	
A workaround would be to install the X sources and modify FreeBSD.cf before
compiling I would guess but the environment really shouldn't be stamped all over
anyway. Dont have the X sources installed to do a fix.
