	I installed Mozilla on SuSE 9.0 and for some reason it does not have the
	PATH available for my user in a shell (though it works in X). I thought
	you could add path entries in /etc/profile for the whole system.
	
	Ex:
	
	vi /etc/profile
	
	...snip...
	# Make path more comfortable
	#
	if test -z "$PROFILEREAD" ; then
	    PATH=/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/usr/X11R6/bin:/bin:/usr/local/mozilla
	    for dir in $HOME/bin/$CPU $HOME/bin ; do
	        test -d $dir && PATH=$dir:$PATH
	    done
	    test "$UID" = 0 && PATH=/sbin:/usr/sbin:/usr/local/sbin:$PATH
	    for dir in  /var/lib/dosemu \
	                /usr/games \
	                /opt/bin \
	                /opt/gnome/bin \
	                /opt/kde3/bin \
	                /opt/kde2/bin \
	                /opt/kde/bin \
	                /usr/openwin/bin \
	                /opt/cross/bin
	    do
	        test -d $dir && PATH=$PATH:$dir
	    done
	    unset dir
	    export PATH
	fi
	
	
	Where I would just apend "/usr/local/mozilla \" at the end of the list.
	It does not work. I have tried to poke around in ~/ with no luck.
	
	Question:
	1) What is the proper way to add a new path?
	
	2) Where is the path held or parsed that X uses?
