I've been asked how to set a variable after gdm has done login. ~/.bashrc is
not an option, as it's only run by shells, but we want the variable to be set
in every X application that is started.
The answer is:
~/.profilefor text and graphical sessions~/.xprofilefor graphical sessions only
Forget about ~/.xinitrc. ~/.xsession and ~/.Xsession: at least in
gnome-session, they do not work.
Update:
* On IRC, I've been told that ~/.xsessionrc should be used since xorg 1:7.3+9
