[07:52] <Fudge> AlanBell  or TheMuso  do you know if lightdm can be configured to export variables for other desktops than gnome
[22:08] <TheMuso> Fudge: I think the best way to do it is to write a shell script similar to what can be found in /etc/X11/Xsession.d and make sure its only run if the selected desktop environment is the one you want.
[22:11] <Fudge> TheMuso  I am told that .xsessionrc is read by desktop managers
[22:11] <Fudge> and .xinitrc by startx
[23:22] <TheMuso> Fudge: Yes, if you want the changes to only be for your user, then those are fine.
