Remove current directory from default path

Description of problem:

The SLiM display manager includes the current directory in it's default path which opens up users to trojan attacks and other unexpected behavior.  It should be removed from the default config.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
slim-1.3.1-5.fc11.i586

How reproducible:
Every time

Steps to Reproduce:
1. open xterm
2. echo $PATH
  
Actual results:
[nstraz@tin ~]$ echo $PATH
/usr/lib/qt-3.3/bin:/usr/kerberos/bin:./:/bin:/usr/bin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/sbin:/sbin:/home/msp/nstraz/bin


Expected results:
[nstraz@tin ~]$ echo $PATH
/usr/lib/qt-3.3/bin:/usr/kerberos/bin:/bin:/usr/bin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/sbin:/sbin:/home/msp/nstraz/bin
