currently the aliases for color ls are in .bash_profile (as per /etc/skel) it would be nicer if they were in .bashrc since this is ALWAYS sourced. with the current config, the colors only work at interactive logins and when i launch terms in X no more colors :( I know i can work around this by changing my xterm links to do an interactive login, but i would perfer if it just worked by default :)
Valid point, Ill look into why we did it as we do now in the first place.
Fixed on CVS.
