Dear Maintainer,

I'm not sure if this bug if for you package or not.

I'm testing labwc and I found that the PATH is not set correctly for normal user.

$ cat /etc/profile
# /etc/profile: system-wide .profile file for the Bourne shell (sh(1))
# and Bourne compatible shells (bash(1), ksh(1), ash(1), ...).

if [ "$(id -u)" -eq 0 ]; then
  PATH="/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin"
else
  PATH="/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/local/games:/usr/games"
fi
export PATH
[...]

In labwc, in a terminal emulator, as normal user (not root)
$ echo $PATH
/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin

$ id -u
1000

I'm using gdm3 as Display Manager

Ciao
Davide

Hello,
This is possibly an issue with gdm3 rather than the labwc package. See
debian bug #1037084.

This appears to be the same underlying issue as #1037084.
