I've just noticed another change with 10.2rc1 (from 10.1) that's rather frustrating.
It used to be that my .profile file would be executed on login, but this no longer appears to be the case.
What's happened? What should I do to have things executed once on login (I don't want to use .bashrc, as that would have things executed with every new shell, and that's too much).
Thanks, Simon

Try creating a symlink to .profile called .bash_profile. (Since you spoke of bashrc, I assume that you are using bash.)

This is most definitely a bug. Please report it in Bugzilla.
