Thanks Nicolas, but what causes scripts in /etc/profile.d to be executed 
at system start up time in 2008.1. Because Mandriva appears to not 
support my new Acer laptop properly, I placed a script in /etc/profile.d 
to run xmodmap to set the delete key (because the generic 105 key 
mapping, which Mandriva set at install time, and the Acer laptop mapping 
both do not set the key) and this script was only ever executed when I 
opened a bash shell. Not wanting to do this manually every boot, I then 
moved the script to /etc/rc.d/init.d and put a link to it in 
/etc/rc.d/rc5.d and this still did not get executed at system startup 
nor when opening a bash shell. The only way I could get it the run as 
system start I had to place the script in the kde autostart directory in 
my home directory (it was then that I found that the script did not have 
the 'X' attribute).

Steve
