Re: running commands with !

A couple of observations.

In my Kubuntu Lucid (10.04) install, for a user with no customization, there is a .profile (that is run by bash if there is no .bash_profile or .bash_login) which invokes $HOME/.bashrc if it exists.

Secondly, if you invoke vim from a panel or from the menu, all that .profile and .*rc stuff gets murky, your DE can do what it likes. I can't persuade my Kubuntu to honour my $PATH and prefer /usr/local/bin/gvim to /usr/bin/gvim without editing the .desktop files to specify the full path to gvim. (However, once in gvim the path is correct.)
