PATH ~/bin under gnome

[Gilles Gravier]

In /etc/profile, you would put

PATH=$HOME/bin:$PATH
export PATH

That way, $HOME/bin expands to the user's /home/whatever/bin ... 
/etc/profile is executed at loginn by every user. Not once at boot by 
the system.

So this seems to me like exactly what you want...

Gilles.
