PATH under X

Hello together,

The PATH Environment variable seems not to be set correctly under X.
iE. is /opt/mozilla/bin not added to it.
The result is, that I can not start programs which are located elsewhere (firefox i.E.) can not be started directly from an xterm or using dmenu.
I am starting X using xdm.

Any help?
Thanks,
Nathan

Re: PATH under X

You can add a line like this to your .bashrc to extend your path:
export PATH=$PATH:/opt/mozilla/bin

Thanks for your reply

I added
source /etc/profile
to ~/.bashrc

That added all my path´s
