set $PATH in Gnome?

[nawlej]

I have a minor inconvenience that happens whenever I invoke the Gnome desktop my on my sunblade. The $PATH changes..... completely different than the one I have set up in /etc/profile. Does anyone know where the file is that globally sets this for Gnome?

after /etc/profile comes $HOME/dotfiles
g.e. $HOME/.profile or $HOME/.login or .....
overwrites /etc/profile

Nope, .profile isnt overwriting it. Let me be a little clearer than my previous post. It only happens when I invoke Gnome.....whenever I ssh to my box, it sets the correct path.

You need to set the PATH var in a profile which get executed every time you open a new terminal under Gnome.
For eg: if you use ksh shell, $HOME/.kshrc (or what ever ENV var points to)...

Lets know if it works...
