I've been runing Fluxbox for some time without problem. But now things have suddenly changed. When I now start emacs from a terminal, it has a proper environment, but when I start it from the fluxbox menu, the texlive portion of the path is truncated and shows up as M-x getenv, PATH /usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/local/games:/usr/games However, the path I want is this: $ echo $PATH /usr/local/texlive/2011/bin/i386-linux:/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/local/games:/usr/games The texlive portion is appended to default user's environment by a line in ~/.bachrc. Oddly, but I don't know if at all relevant, when I start emacs in text mode from the fluxbox menu, I can issue C-x commands from it, but no M-x commands. When I enter M-x, garbage appears in the minibuffer and a slash O in the scratch buffer. But when I start emacs from a terminal as text-only $ emacs -nw I can issue the M-x genenv command, and it returns a proper full PATH. Any ideas?
