Hallo!
A more robust way of loading "stuff" (from fx. an untar'd tar ball)
would make a better solution. I.e. something that works in different
distributions (extended, vanilla, etc), is independent from the
preference and is not a shell script with a bunch of start up
options. This rant/request might be utter rubbish though - please let
me know.
That's what declare, import and etc. is for ...
