I run #XFCE on my Linux box. I have a custom `.profile` that needs to be run to set $PATH and a bunch of other environment things. It seems by default xfce4-session doesn't do this.
I can workaround that ;problem by this file:
```
$ cat $HOME/.xsession
#!/bin/sh
source $HOME/.profile
exec xfce4-session
```
and remembering to set "default X session" rather than "XFCE4" as the login environment.
Seems incredibly hacky though. Is there anything nicer?
