Hello everyone.

I've noticed that when I started a Wayland session with a
greetd-terminal whose default-session-command is
greetd-wlgreet-sway-session or greetd-wlgreet-session, enviromental
variables set in .bash_profile doesn't seem to be set.

I don't know if this is a bug or feature but it doesn't seem right to
me.  I would be glad if you handle it.

Thanks in advance.

greetd sources ~/.profile and /etc/profile [1], even though it is not
documented.  You should probably use that instead of the bash-specific
.bash_profile which is *only* meant for bash login shells.
