#1068 closed defect (fixed)

bash startup files (xterm and all the profile.d files)

Description

Since an xterm session is a non-login session by default, none of the /etc/profile.d scripts will be sourced when starting an xterm session. Either the sourcing of profile.d/* needs to be done in /etc/bashrc or ~/.bashrc, or /etc/bashrc or ~/.bashrc need to source /etc/profile. However, these options may have some negative impact that I'm not aware of. Further discussion may be warranted.

The "xterm-title" script was wrong. Changed it to extra-paths.sh which it was really doing.
