Since I see you've already solved the problem, I don't want to trace it back exactly, but this is a file sourced in a file that's sourced in something like .bashrc or .Xdefaults or whatever. SuSE is a fine distro, but they can be very annoying at times, complicating things and using non-standard solutions. Because of that, I thought about switching to RH, but I think instead I'll install LFS as soon I have a new HD.
