thanks! puuuh, back to life!
(The mounting was clear to me, but didn't remember the details.)
So it seems that I should better make changes directly to /etc/profile (as I always did in the past)?
Probably not. In many decades of using UNIX and Linux I've never found a need to modify that GLOBAL profile. But then I never log in as root either :-) Yes, I've modified /home/anton/profile and various other profiles in ~anton. And if I need root I use sudo or kdesu. I think you're doing something wrong and that might be related to abuse of root and root level issues. Please tell us that I'm making the wrong suppositions about you and that you are not logging in as root and making global changes. It will make helping you so much easier if you haven't fiddled with the root-level fundamentals when a regular account should have sufficed. -- No one pretends that democracy is perfect or all-wise.
