Description Arvind S N 2004-08-19 08:11:21 UTC 
gdm currenlty from its Xsession file, executes /etc/profile and ~/.profile on
login.  Based on
the shell that is set, we should probably be executing shell specific ones as
well.  here the case
was .bash_profile not being executed  when login shell is bash.

With dtlogin as the default login manager, and .bash_profile containing the
following :

export PATH=/usr/bin:$PATH
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/lib:$PATH
export GTK_MODULES='gail:atk-bridge'
export GNOME_DISABLE_CRASH_DIALOG=1

GOK is able to connect to the AT Tools
(see bug #5083625)

Will not fix this bug.  GDM does not read shell specific login files since it is
not a terminal.  If environment variables need to be set, they need to be set in
.profile or a file that GDM does support.
