[Pkg-lxde-maintainers] Bug#950537: lxterminal: wrong default PATH for superuser

Package: lxterminal konsole
Version: 0.3.2-1
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,

By working in KDE/LXDE: start lxtermial or konsole. Then 
$ su 
# echo $PATH 
gives:
/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/local/games:/usr/games; 

what is the same as for nonsuperuser. Hence superuser must type the fullpath like: 
# /sbin/ifconfig
This behavior started in Buster, and is observerd in Bullseye, too. 
If working in real console (text mode without KDE/LXDE), the superuser PATH is correct.
I made my own patch by adding a next row to .bashrc:
PATH="/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin"

This was not observed in Debian 9 - stretch. 
I didnot tested other GUI (gnome ...)
I didnot tested other xterminals (UXterm ...)
But the described behaviour may be the same.

Thanks for your attention

Jan
