Tools ls -G in terminal emulation

Hi !
As everyone, i installed my system and started "personalizing" it. One of the adjustments was creating an alias in /etc/profile fo ls, so when I type ls it is running ls -G so i can see a colored output. Everything is ok, but after I configured my system to start in X by default (kdm as desktop manager) I saw that the terminal emulation program is using none of the aliased created by me in /etc/profile.
So, does anyone know how can I change this ? I mean, how can I set an alias automaticly when X starts ? beacause I'm already bored typing alias ls='ls -G' all the time when i want to surf my computer...
I also noticed the same behaviour when I'm changing the current user (su).
This will be my biggest problem for now Smilie
Bye !

NAME
dxhanziim - An input server for Simplified Chinese DESCRIPTION
In a Motif environment such as CDE, Asian language input methods are supported by independent processes called input servers. The Simpli- fied Chinese input server (dxhanziim) is an X client process that can run on a standard X server, provided that the server system has the required Simplified Chinese fonts installed. This means that the input server can run on any system that can access your X display device, including the device itself. Starting the Input Server If your CDE session language is set to Simplified Chinese, the Simplified Chinese input server is started automatically, and both the lan- guage setting and the Simplified Chinese input method is available for applications that you start during that session. If your session language is not set to Simplified Chinese, you can switch to Simplified Chinese from a terminal emulation window by setting the LANG envi- ronment variable to a Simplified Chinese locale. From the same terminal emulation window, you must also use the command line to start the Simplified Chinese input method server and then other applications in which you want to use Simplified Chinese. You can start the input server on your local workstation by using the following command: % /usr/bin/X11/dxhanziim & If you want to start the input server on a remote system, log on the remote system, and enter the following commands. Substitute the name of your local system for <display_name> in the first command. % setenv DISPLAY <display_name>:0 % /usr/bin/X11/dxhanziim & After the input server is started, any Motif applications that have been internationalized to support Simplified Chinese can communicate with the server to obtain input method services. However, remember that these applications must be started after the server is started. RESTRICTIONS
This input server uses X11R6. It can connect to input-method clients running X11R4, X11R5, or X11R6 under the same locale. However, support for multiple monitors (multi-head systems) is available only to clients also running X11R6. Support for multiple monitors is not available to input-method clients using X11R5 or X11R4. If you are using a PC-style keyboard, the input server may not recognize the Backspace key as the way to delete the previous character in the input method preediting area. In this case, you must use the Delete key to delete the character. The default Alt-Space key sequence for activating and deactivating the input method may not work under CDE. In this case, invoke the dialog box for Input Method Customization and change the key sequence for Start Input Method and End Input Method to be something other than Alt- Space. For example, you could change the sequence to be Ctrl-Space. SEE ALSO
