[FreeNX-kNX] .bash_profile - Source it or not source it - that is the question

Hi,

Still people have the "blank screen" problem and applications do not start.

This can be the fact if ~/.bash_profile for example contains:

[ -x /usr/bin/zsh ] && exec /usr/bin/zsh

We are sourcing /etc/profile and ~/.bash_profile in nxnode prior to application startup.

Should we do this?

Are we a "login shell"?

Please vote on that matter.

I thought of adding a config option, but then the question remains if it should be enabled by default or disabled.

So please vote for your favorite solution.

And if the removing of the default behavior of sourcing the *profiles would lead to problems somewhere for someone ...

Best Wishes and Thanks,

Fabian
