Bug Description
Binary package hint: gnome-session
the summary says it all.
my .profile file looks like this:
--
#alias ls="ls --color"
alias r="ssh -X 10.0.0.32";
alias rr="ssh -X 10.0.0.32 sudo";
export PATH=.:
--
my default shell is bash. when i uncomment the first line in my .profile file then after entering user/pw in gdm, launching the gnome-session will fail with no meaningfull error message.
the .xsession-errors looks like this
--
spliffy@bpmdj:~$ cat .xsession-errors
/etc/gdm/
/etc/gdm/
/etc/gdm/Xsession: Beginning session setup...
... and here a message that gnome-term (or xterm) will be loaded ...
