This didn't happen in 1.5.25 so something with 1.7.5 = is different. I'll go back to my 1.5.25 setup and look at /etc/profile and= see what's different.

The scripts are run with standard input redirected to a here document gener= ated by a find command. That is the source of the "/etc/profile.d/xinit.sh"= you're seeing as the answer. The "read" statement in your script is actually consuming one of the arguments intende= d to be processed by the "read" in /etc/profile. Because the scripts are sourced by the current shell your "#!" line has no = affect ("-x" isn't getting set.) In other words, the shell is doing exactly what it has been told to do. Don= 't use a read in your profile.d scripts unless you make sure to reroute sta= ndard input back to the terminal.
