Are you talking about xterm? If so, then start it with -ls:
-ls This option indicates that the shell that is
started in the xterm window will be a login shell
(i.e., the first character of argv[0] will be a
dash, indicating to the shell that it should read
the user's .login or .profile).
What exactly do you have in your .bash_profile that XDM is not
executing?
