Inheriting shell environment

[Morten Bo Johansen <nospam mbjnet dk>]

Hi,

How do I get my shell environment variables exported to my X
environment when using gdm?

I thought the usual way would be to source the file containing
the environment variables from ~/.Xsession and then gdm would
read that file -- but it seems to have no effect?

I am using Ubuntu, btw.


Thanks,

Morten
