gdm sessions problems

[Nick Hudson]

Ok well that fixes the gnome problem also.  So how can we fix this?  Put
something once the module compiles asking the user to add said path to
his/her /etc/profile file?  I dont see how we could do it any other
way.  If anyone has any sugesstions I will gladly take them
