Can't set LD_LIBRARY_PATH in .gnomerc

[James Carroll]

Here's what I put in .gnomrc.  the PYTHONPATH does show up in a shell
later, but LD_LIBRARY_PATH doesn't which makes me think something else
is unsetting it.

export PATH=/opt/wx/2.5/bin:/opt/jdk/bin:$PATH
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/opt/wx/2.5/lib:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH
export WXDIR=/home/jimc/wxPython-src-2.5.5.1
export PYTHONPATH=$WXDIR/wxPython:$PYTHONPATH
