Comment 65 for bug 678421

Thanks for working on this!

For what it's worth, I've been using the following, and had to move the "set -x" now below the "exec 2>>$logfile", otherwise this was detected as being an error.

1. I've been using the following in ~/.profile, mainly for debugging purposes:

    logfile=/tmp/debug-profile-calls.log
    echo -n "Calling .profile (via $0) " >> $logfile
    date >> $logfile
    echo "SHELL: $SHELL" >> $logfile

    set -x
    exec 1>>$logfile
    exec 2>>$logfile

2. I was confused that kdialog was being used / preferred: I am using some KDE apps, but use awesome WM and the software stack based on Unity/Gnome. Maybe there's a better method to detect a KDE system than just checking if "kdialog" is installed.
