Instead, gdm seems to set $PATH to a fixed, built-in default value. The old gdm-2.22 used to pick up those settings correctly. >How-To-Repeat: Without setting the path explicitly via /etc/profile or /etc/csh.cshrc, log in via GDM >= 2.24.X, open an xterm, and display the value of $PATH. It will not be that configured in /etc/login.conf. >Fix: >Release-Note: >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted:
