Re: My .profile is not read?

Hi, I spent a little more time looking at this.

> (look deeply for what happens in your .bashrc)

My .bashrc is very simple - it sets some aliases, sets some bash
options (eg: 'set -o vi'), and creates some shell functions.

Further, this worked before in Xfce, so if something in .bashrc were
messing it up, wouldn't it have happened then as well?

I tried these. I also put an 'export -p > ...' in my .xinitrc, just
before the final 'exec fluxbox'.
The results:

* in .xinitrc, just before fluxbox is run, PS1 is set correctly and exported
* when dumping from the key shortcut, PS1 is blank and not exported
* when dumping from .bashrc, PS1 is set wrong (some default prompt?)
and not exported

Yeah, I poked around there too; didn't find anything, either.

> is your $PS1 really exported ?

It is before I invoke fluxbox. But it isn't afterwards.
No idea why ):
