[Pkg-xfce-devel] Bug#672793: lightdm does not source ~/.profile

[Ralf Jung]

Package: lightdm
Version: 1.0.11-1
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,

I just switched from KDM and to lightdm, and had to notice that ~/bin was
dropped from my PATH. The reason is that KDM sources ~/.profile on login, but
lightdm obviously does not.
This was also reported, and fixed, in Ubuntu:
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/lightdm/+bug/794315

Kind regards,
Ralf
