the fault is mine in this case i am afraid and not debians... i hadn't
set my window manager to load under a --login shell. silly brain dead
me... however, having emacs set this variable is more important to me
than in the shell, since i only ever use cvs from within emacs and i
have logins on several machines, all with a syncronised ~/.emacs file,
but i dont bother syncronising my .profiles.
