PATH set in .xinitrc is not inherited by wmiirc #162

Closed GoogleCodeExporter closed 9 years ago

Probably it's only my ignorance and sorry if this is the case, but...

If I put this in .xinitrc:
  export PATH="/bin:/usr/bin"
  exec wmii
and 'echo $PATH' in wmiirc, why do the PATHs differ?

What version of the product are you using (wmii -v)? On what operating
system?
wmii-hg2592, libixp-hg116, Arch Linux x86_64, Linux 2.6.30.9, xorg-server 1.7.1

wmii starts wmiirc from a login shell. It's not ideal, but it's unfortunately
necessary given that too many people seem to start wmii from a login manager and
expect their .profile settings to be available anyway.
