[Bug 48876] Re: [Bug 48876] Re: gnome-session fails when "alias ls='ls --color'" in .profile

Sebastien,

My system is built up by the ubuntu 6.06 Live CD (double click install icon
on the desktop), I added the alias to /etc/profile  just after first boot.
And I reproduced it easily in another fresh system also.   So I think I was
not picking particular session.

"ls --color /etc/X11/Xsession.d" only shows texts with normal color,  but
the output is filled with some ansi control chars (use cat -v to prove):

igo: ~ $ /bin/ls --color /etc/X11/Xsession.d | cat -v

igo: ~ $ md5sum /bin/ls
