I have a `.profile` that sets up PATH and some other environment variables. It applies fine when I start a new ssh login. But it doesn't appear to take effect for my X session, so window manager etc.. can't see the extra PATH entries.
What's the solution here? How do I ensure X desktop (XFCE in my case) actually sees it?
