AIUI, the problem is made worse by the fact that - if you log in at the
gui - the shell doesn't get invoked AT ALL until it's needed to run the
command, at which point it's too late.
Catch 22 - the shell gets run after the command is called, but the
command needs the shell running first so the command-line knows where to
find the command!
