However, once I removed xdm and started X/KDE from the bash shell using
'startx', all my $PATH values were initialized in my xterm windows in X. I'm
sure this has to do with the fact that I was already in a bash shell before I
started X/KDE, but why would my .bash_profile file not get read when I started
KDE from xdm? Ultimately, I always want to start X from a shell, so it's not a
critical issue for me, but in case I change my mind at some point, is there
something about the way xdm or KDE starts which keeps it from sourcing a
.bash_profile file? How can I configure xdm or KDE to read in these files if
they don't?

Thanks.
