Title:
  gnome-session fails when "alias ls='ls --color'" in .profile

Status in “gdm” package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released
Status in “gnome-session” package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid
Status in “gdm” source package in Dapper:
  Won't Fix

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: gnome-session

  the summary says it all.

  my .profile file looks like this:
  --
  #alias ls="ls --color"
  alias r="ssh -X 10.0.0.32";
  alias rr="ssh -X 10.0.0.32 sudo";

  export PATH=.:/home/spliffy/bin:/home/spliffy/bin/bpmdj-2.9:$PATH
  --

  my default shell is bash. when i uncomment the first line in my
  .profile file then after entering user/pw in gdm, launching the gnome-
  session will fail with no meaningfull error message.

  the .xsession-errors looks like this
  --
  spliffy@bpmdj:~$ cat .xsession-errors
  /etc/gdm/PreSession/Default: Registering your session with wtmp and utmp
  /etc/gdm/PreSession/Default: running: /usr/bin/sessreg -a -w /var/log/wtmp -u /var/run/utmp -x "/var/lib/gdm/:0.Xservers" -h "" -l ":0" "spliffy"
  /etc/gdm/Xsession: Beginning session setup...
   ... and here a message that gnome-term (or xterm) will be loaded ...
