[Bug 53862] Re: Default gnome session keeps crashing on login

Ok, I cracked it. I was getting nowhere and so I decided to reinstall
and then iteratively check if and where it would break. It turns out too
innocent looking lines in /etc/profile are what made gnome-session run
for the hills. I run gentoo on my laptop, I copied that file right over
and it broke the login sequence. Without further ado, here they are:

alias ls='ls --color -F'
alias .='cd ..'

The first one I've seen listed as a bug around here, so I commented that
one out, but it didn't solve it by itself. Eventually I found out the
second one also breaks it.

The question is why it breaks it and whether it should break it. I
certainly miss those two, among my most used, aliases. :(
