[arch-dev-public] System-wide bashrc?

[Thomas Bächler]

This problem has been bugging me for some time: /etc/profile is only 
read for login-shells. That is fine, because you launch a login-shell 
once, then start your graphical environment from it. Most of the 
environment is persisitent so that it will appear in X terminals (which 
only launch interactive non-login shells).

However, if you launch an interactive shell, the following is lost:
* PS1, PS2
* all aliases
* /etc/bash_completion

So, I have to set up the bashrc of every user to restore PS1, PS2, my 
custom aliases and bash_completion. Is there a solution to this is in 
something like a "system-wide bashrc"? The current way is really 
inconvenient.
