/etc/profile isn't sourced on startx

the command

source /etc/profile

isn't used on startx sad

and now all paths and locales aren't set, has anyone an idea whats wrong here?
if i login on console it behaves normal. But if i login on X with qingy or slim it doesn't work.
It also doesn't work if i startx on a console with /etc/profile sourced.

i hope someone can help me.

so long

/etc/profile is a configuration file for your terminal/bash, not for xorg.

Re: /etc/profile isn't sourced on startx

but if i run X, there's no locale set, or environment variable, so how can i set that at startup of X?

i think i've solved it.
the problem was some misconfiguration in my home directory.
