           Summary: KDE should read ~/.profile at the same time as
                    ~/.kde/env/*.sh
           Product: kde
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: Ubuntu Packages
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: wishlist
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
        AssignedTo: unassigned-bugs at kde.org
        ReportedBy: rct+bugs at thompsonclan.org


Version:           unspecified (using Devel) 
OS:                Linux

Users can use ~/.profile to set environment variables for their session. GNOME
will source this file, and any changes that it makes to the environment apply
to the entire GNOME session. For KDE, the equivalent feature is to put scripts
in ~/.kde/env/ ending in ".sh". It would be nice if KDE also read ~/.profile.

In other words, I would like KDE to act as if the following command were
executed:
$ ln -sh ~/.profile ~/.kde/env/profile.sh

Reproducible: Didn't try




This caused some problems for me when I was trying to run some of my scripts in
~/bin/ using Krunner, which didn't have my custom $PATH.
