Thanks Kjel, I have made the change in .bash_profile. Do you know which 
specific scripts in /etc/profile.d need changing as I have to make this 
change for 5 users on my cooker machine.
Also how does changing scripts in the two mentioned locations actually 
work, as scripts in these two locations only get used/executed when a 
bash shell is opened, so how do the menus get restored with this export 
command.
Also are you able to tell me why a script placed in /etc/profile.d does 
not need the 'X' attribute to be executable?

regards,
Steve
