terminal prompts broken when using KDM
hello. i have KDE working with XDM/KDM activating upon boot to handle (automatic) logging into the system. yesterday (i've only had the system up for a couple of days) i noticed that the prompts in bash (through Konsole) were messed up. my current prompt is 'bash-2.05b$'. however, i then noticed that if i log off, tell KDM to go to the console, log in, and then type 'startx', KDE starts just fine and the Konsole/bash prompt is what I want: 'user@host directory$'. my question isn't about how to set the prompt up the way i want; i've done that before. what i want to know is why this particular thing is occuring. this means to me that some init script is running when i do 'startx' that isn't running when XDM starts with the system, or visa versa. what is the offending script?
Thanks for the help,
~ Justin
