I'm user 1000 and have had the expected results by putting a modified 
path in my .profile but it is not automatic, I have to . .profile for 
every terminal I start. I have 2 non-stock dirs in my /home/me path, bin 
and AppImages, and I put them ahead of the rest of the default path. Now 
if someone would tell me how to make that automatic I'd be delighted.
