Have recently installing Debian Wheezy and using XFCE 4.8.0.3 with lighdm.
After logging in with lightdm, my ~/.bash_profile
or ~/.profile
are no longer sourced.
I have previously used these startup files to start ssh-agent, dropboxd and set my PATH variable.
If I understand this link (http://wiki.debian.org/DotFiles) correctly, when a display manager is in use (lightdm in this case). Then it is correct that these files do not get sourced.
So my questions are:
1) how can I make XFCE/lightdm source ~/.bash_profile
or ~/.profile
or
2) what are the equivalent startup configuration files of XFCE/lightdm to start ssh-agent, dropboxd and set my PATH variable.
